Research Scientist Intern, Neuroscience / NLP

Meta was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Meta offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization.We are committed to advancing the field of artificial intelligence by making fundamental advances in technologies to help interact with and understand our world. We are seeking individuals passionate in areas such as deep learning, computer vision, audio and speech processing, natural language processing, machine learning, reinforcement learning, computational statistics, and applied mathematics. Our interns have an opportunity to make core algorithmic advances and apply their ideas at an unprecedented scale.The mission of Meta FAIR’s Brain and AI is to interface neuroscience and artificial intelligence, to both better understand how the brain functions in light of state-of-the-art AI models and to improve AI in light of neuroscientific principles. We explore, design, and build AI systems at scale to enable next-generation AI technologies.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
