$117,000.00/yr - $173,000.00/yr Meta is seeking a Research Scientist to join Fundamental AI Research (FAIR), a research organization focused on making significant progress in AI, on the Chemistry team. The Chemistry team develops AI-based methods to accelerate materials and molecular discovery for climate and AR/VR applications. The material domains currently being worked on are electro-catalysts for CO2RR & OER, nano-porous materials for direct air capture, and new materials for display technologies.
Research Scientist, AI for Science (PhD) Responsibilities:
Lead research to advance the science and technology of intelligent machines Lead research that enables advances in AI applied to chemistry and material science Devise better data-driven models of chemistry and materials Work towards long-term research goals, while identifying intermediate milestones Influence progress of relevant research communities by producing publications Contribute research that can be applied to Facebook product development Lead and collaborate on research projects within a globally based team
Minimum Qualifications:
Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a PhD in the field of Machine Learning, Computer Science, Physics, Artificial Intelligence, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta Experience applying artificial intelligence to a scientific domain such as computational photonics, computational design, computational chemistry, etc Experience devising data-driven models and real-system experiments and design implementation for AI design and optimization Experience with scalable machine learning systems, resource-efficient AI data and algorithm scaling, or neural network architectures Experience with Python, C++, C, Julia, or other related language Experience communicating complex research for public audiences of peers Experience with frameworks such as Pytorch, Jax, or Tensorflow Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ICCV, ICLR, or similar Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
