Postdoctoral Researcher, AI (PhD University Grad)

Intro: Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started. Summary: Facebook is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join Facebook 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, computational statistics, and applied mathematics, particularly including areas such as deep learning, graphical models, reinforcement learning, computer perception, natural language processing and data representation. The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in producing new science to understand intelligence and technology to make computers more intelligent. Term length would be considered on a case-by-case basis. Required Skills: 1. Collaborate on research to advance the science and technology of intelligent machines. 2. Collaborate on research that enables learning the semantics of data (images, video, text, audio, and other modalities). 3. Devise better data-driven models of human behavior. 4. Contribute research that can be applied to Facebook product development. 5. Influence progress of relevant research communities by producing publications. 6. Collaborate and increase productivity on existing FAIR projects as a contributing team member. 7. Drive research for FAIR in fields outside of primary domains of computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning. Minimum Qualifications: 8. Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in Computer Science or related field or relevant experience. 9.
