Postdoctoral Researcher, Embodied AI (PhD)

Meta is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join Meta Fundamental AI Research (FAIR), a research organization focused on making significant progress in AI. Individuals in this role are expected to be recognized experts in identified research areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and embodied AI, particularly including areas computer vision, vision-language models, LLMs, agents, planning, and physical word understanding. Our postdoctoral researchers have opportunities to make core algorithmic and system advances and apply their ideas at an unprecedented scale. The ideal candidate should have a keen interest in producing new, open science to make embodied agents more intelligent. The mission of Meta FAIR’s Agent research is to explore how to create general agents capable of understanding our physical and digital worlds and using this knowledge to take actions for you. These digital agents take actions by actuating UIs and making API calls to off load our daily digital chores. Some research directions of interest are: - Investigate algorithmic development and application of foundation models for digital agents - Representation learning for agent tasks - Developing simulation platforms for agent AI research (e.g. visual web arena) - Multimodal perception - Continual learning in interactive environments - Developing efficient models deployable to mobile devices and hardware
