Meta is seeking Research Scientists to join its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) organization, an organization focused on making significant advances in AI. We publish groundbreaking papers and release frameworks/libraries that are widely used in the open-source community. Recent examples include the DINOv2 family of visual models and their applications. We closely collaborate with other organizations at Meta to bring the latest research findings to production. We are seeking talented researchers with experience in machine learning and computer vision to join the Paris site and work with us on conducting research on self-supervised learning and developing the next generation of unsupervised visual foundation models. Researchers will drive impact by (1) publishing state-of-the-art research papers, (2) open-sourcing high-quality code and reproducible results for the community, and (3) bringing the latest research to Facebook products for connecting billions of users. The chosen candidate(s) will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and cross-functional partners and access cutting-edge technology, resources, and research facilities.

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.
