UX Research Scientist Intern - Contextual AI

Meta Reality Labs Research (RL-R) is looking for a PhD researcher who brings two skill sets together: computer science AI development, and social science and experimental design. You should be equally comfortable building AI-powered prototypes and running rigorous studies of how people experience them. Contextual AI uses what a person sees, hears and does, as captured by wearable devices such as the Aria Gen 2 research glasses, to deliver help that is relevant, timely and appropriately presented. In this role, you will help define what success looks like for these systems and how to measure it. You will lead a research project from start to finish, including: - Defining a research question about proactive, always-available AI - Building or extending a functional prototype using real-world wearable and contextual data - Designing and running user studies with the prototype - Turning findings into actionable design guidance and evaluation metrics for research and engineering teams Our internships are 12 to 24 weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. Some projects may require a minimum of 24 consecutive weeks.
