Meta Reality Labs brings together researchers and engineers to invent the future of visual computing.

Our teams develop technologies that enable people to capture, create, understand, and interact with immersive visual experiences across Meta’s products and AR/VR platforms. We work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer vision, computer graphics, and computational photography.

Our research spans generative methods across 3D assets, characters, and worlds, together with rigging and animation. We are also working on image and video diffusion, neural rendering and dynamic 3DGS as well as agentic workflows (e.g., 3D code generation, robotic simulation).

As a Research Scientist Intern, you will help advance the state of the art through an ambitious research project.

You will collaborate with researchers and engineers to develop new models, representations, datasets, and evaluation methods—with opportunities to publish your work and influence future products used by people around the world.

• Relevant research or software engineering work experiences, including internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories

About Meta

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
