Research Scientist Intern, Body Capture, Reconstruction and Rendering (PhD)

Summary: The Reality Labs (RL) Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including computer vision, graphics, body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. The Virtual Humans team in Sausalito, CA, Redmond, WA, and Zurich, CH work on cutting-edge research and development focusing on virtual people and presence. We envision a world where people connect across vast distances, so our roles focus on capturing, evaluating, and modeling the full human body shape and motion. We are currently seeking innovative interns with a passion for technology to develop the next generation of virtual humans. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long, and we have various start dates throughout the year. Research Topics: Virtual humans, animatable avatar creation Full body capture, reconstruction, and rendering including dynamic deformations of soft tissues, cloth, and hair Pose estimation, shape inference, surface detail reconstruction, photoreal rendering, and novel view synthesis Deep learning applied to image, depth, and 3D data for monocular and multi-view stereo reconstruction of dynamic surfaces Neural representations and deep implicit models Required Skills: Research Scientist Intern, Body Capture, Reconstruction and Rendering (PhD) Responsibilities: Design and execution of algorithms Investigate, design, and develop novel algorithms in areas such as body capture, tracking, reconstruction, generative models for clothed humans and deformable objects (soft tissue, clothes, hair) Prototyping, building, and analysis of experimental systems Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines Communication of research agenda, progress, and results Minimum Qualifications: Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a PhD in Computer Vision, Graphics, Machine Learning, or related field Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment Interpersonal skills: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration Experience with computer vision, deep learning, 3D geometry, and/or linear algebra 2+ years of experience with C, C++, and/or Python Preferred Qualifications: Intent to return to a degree program after the completion of the internship 2+ years of experience with one or more of the following areas: developing models for neural human reconstruction, human body learning, dynamic shape representation, numerical optimization, deep learning Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment Proven track record of achieving results as demonstrated in accepted papers at top computer vision, graphics, machine learning, or robotics-related journals and conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, SIGGRAPH, etc. Public Compensation: $7,800/month to $11,293/month + benefits Industry: Internet Equal Opportunity: Meta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
