AI Research Scientist, Fair | Chercheur(se) En Ia, Fair

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Montreal, QC

Research Scientist role at Meta's FAIR team focusing on building world models from video for embodied and wearable agents, advancing research in self-supervised learning, predictive models, and model-based reinforcement learning. The role involves pushing the state of the art, publishing research, and developing efficient, scalable models.

What you'd actually do

  1. Leading, collaborating, and executing on research that pushes forward the state of the art in artificial intelligence
  2. Performing research that enables learning the semantics of data (images, video, text, audio, and other modalities).
  3. Working towards long-term research goals, while identifying immediate milestones.
  4. Influencing progress of relevant research communities by producing publications.
  5. Collaborating with scientists and engineers in a large cross-functional team
  6. Open source high quality code and produce reproducible research
