About the Role

This is a PhD internship role at Meta Reality Labs Research focusing on physics-based simulation for avatars and robotics. The intern will develop novel algorithms for body, cloth, hair, and deformable object modeling, collaborating across disciplines. The position involves prototyping, algorithm design, and research communication.

Key Responsibilities

• Investigate, design and develop novel algorithms for full body, cloth, hair modeling, simulation, and animation
• Prototyping, building and analysis of experimental systems
• Design and execution of algorithms
• Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines
• Communication of research agenda, progress and results

Required Skills & Qualifications

Must Have:

• Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a PhD in Computer Vision, Graphics, Machine Learning, Robotics, or related field
• Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at time of hire and maintain it during employment
• Interpersonal skills: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration
• Experience with computer vision, 3D geometry, character animation and/or linear algebra
• 2+ years of experience with C, C++, and/or Python

Nice to Have:

• Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship
• 2+ years of experience with one or more areas: developing models for physics-based simulation, 3D geometry reconstruction, robotics, non-rigid deformation, shape representation, numerical optimization, deep learning
• Proven track record of achieving results as demonstrated in accepted papers at top computer vision, graphics, machine learning or robotics related journals and conferences
