Research Scientist Intern, Computer Vision - Video Intelligence (PhD)

The Video Intelligence team is seeking highly motivated Research Interns to join us in advancing the next generation of video generation technologies. The Video Intelligence team is an applied AI research team within the Facebook pillar, and is responsible for building state-of-the-art GenAI technology to empower video generation and understanding, enabling innovative AI-driven video creation experiences and enhancing our ability to comprehend video content.

As a Research Intern, you will work alongside leading experts in computer vision, generative modeling, and multimodal learning, contributing to research projects at the frontier of developing advanced video generation models. Our work not only advances the academic field but also lays the groundwork for future video intelligence systems and applications.

Responsibilities

Conduct research on advanced topics in video generation and understanding, including but not limited to text-to-video generative models, image-to-video generative models, video understanding models, unified native video generative models.
Design, implement, and evaluate novel algorithms and model architectures.
Collaborate closely with researchers and engineers across the Video Intelligence group and broader GenAI teams.
Contribute to publications in top-tier conferences and journals in AI, computer vision, and machine learning.
Present findings and share insights that help shape both ongoing research and future directions.

Qualifications

Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field with a focus on generative modeling, computer vision, or machine learning
Programming experience in Python and hands-on experience in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch
Experience working on generative models e.g. diffusion models, LLM, autoregressive transformers, etc
Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment Intent to return to the degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
Proven track record of solid research achievements as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as publications at leading AI conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, or SIGGRAPH
Strong track record of contributions to open-source projects, benchmarks, or shared research artifacts
Research experience in video generation, temporal modeling, multimodal learning or unified native video generative models
Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a fast-paced team environment. Ideal candidates should have the ability to quickly understand and identify the research opportunities behind real-world applications, select the appropriate ML methods to explore, and proactively drive the iterations based on clear analysis of the current results
