Meta is seeking Research Interns to join FAIR, our world-class research lab. We are committed to advancing the field of artificial intelligence by making fundamental advances in technologies to help interact with and understand our world. In particular, we are seeking individuals to work with our reinforcement learning team to build novel algorithms grounded in solid principles that can scale to efficiently solve complex real-world problems. Our research spans different aspects of reinforcement learning with particular focus on unsup/self-supervised RL, behavioral foundation models, exploration-exploitation and responsible RL. The candidate should have a solid experience in machine learning and reinforcement learning, as testified by original and impactful publications in this domain at top tier conferences in machine learning (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR). We are proposing Summer, Fall, and Winter start dates. Internships will be awarded on a rolling basis and candidates are encouraged to apply early. Applicants are expected to be pursuing a PhD in reinforcement learning; outstanding Masters and Bachelor students may also be considered.
