Research Scientist Intern, 3D Perception, Understanding and Generative AI (PhD)
The Meta Reality Labs Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR. The Surreal Vision group at RL Research is seeking exceptional Research Scientists to research and help build the egocentric machine perception functionalities and digital twins of 3D scenes that will underpin future VR and contextual-AI-enabled AR devices. The research intern will work on cutting edge research problems to innovate novel computer vision and machine learning techniques. Collaborate with researchers to advance work across multiple research areas, including: - Egocentric 3D reconstruction and scene understanding of static and dynamic scenes. - Multimodal generative models for 3D shape synthesis and reconstruction. - Language grounding for 3D shapes and scenes to enable spatial reasoning and embodied interaction. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
Responsibilities
Plan and execute cutting-edge research and development to advance the state-of-the-art in machine perception, state estimation, reconstruction and rendering of 3D objects and scenes. Collaborate with other researchers and engineers across machine perception teams at Meta to develop experiments, prototypes, and concepts that advance the state-of-the-art in AR/VR and AI systems. Work with the team to help design, setup, and run practical experiments and prototype systems related to large-scale high quality sensing and machine reasoning.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
