Job Description

The Reality Labs (RL) Research team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR. We are developing technologies to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, working at the intersection of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Machine Learning. The Virtual Humans team in Zurich, CH is expanding its focus to cutting-edge research in 3D Generative AI, with a particular emphasis on digital humans--encompassing neural representations and generative modeling of human shapes, meshes, and avatars.Research Topics: 3D generative modeling of digital humans/avatars. Both traditional mesh-based as well as gsplat representations. Applications of diffusion models, transformers, and large language models to 3D human modeling. Evaluation and benchmarking of generative 3D models for digital humans.Integration of 3D generative models for digital humans into AR/VR pipelines.

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.
