Research Scientist Intern, Generative Models for Human Motion (PhD)

Meta Reality Labs focuses on delivering Meta's vision through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). In this project, we will seek to develop highly realistic digital characters with lifelike and expressive movement. Our approach will apply auto-regressive generative models to fundamental motion problems spanning animation, vision, and robotics.

We are seeking exceptional interns with appropriate background and experience to join our team for internships between twelve (12) and twenty-four (24) weeks.
