Research Scientist in London

Meta is seeking Research Scientists to join the a research team team within Meta Reality Labs, Our team is developing advanced technology at the intersection of computer vision and generative AI. We're working on an initiative to bring photorealistic, real-time holographic communication to AR/VR glasses. Imagine seamless, lifelike presence in mixed reality, transforming how people connect across distances. Beyond Hologram, we're advancing Family of Apps (FoA) applications, including auto-translation with realistic lipsync on Instagram, enabling creators to reach global audiences authentically. You will have the opportunity to work with a broad and highly interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and cross-functional partners, with access to cutting-edge technology, important resources, and research facilities.
