Research Scientist Intern - Optimization, Privacy and Inference

Central Applied Science is a research and development team, working to improve Meta’s products and infrastructure. We generate real-world impact through a combination of scientific rigor and methodological innovation. Our focus is on foundational work that addresses new opportunities and challenges across Meta, including the Meta family of apps that enable billions of people to communicate with each other daily. Central Applied Science is interdisciplinary, with expertise in many fields including artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, economics, and operations research. This diversity enriches our research and expands the scope and scale of projects we can address. We deliver value through collaborative projects with other groups at Meta and with the academic community. In addition, we build and open-source technical products aligned with our areas of expertise. We seek research science interns to join our team. The ideal candidate will have extensive graduate training in one of our core scientific fields, prior experience developing applied solutions, and an interest in tackling challenging, open-ended issues to improve Meta’s products and systems with real-world impact. Our internships are sixteen (16) to twenty-four (24) weeks long – designed to afford our interns the opportunity to both ship advancement into production and to author papers for leading conferences and workshops – and we have various start dates throughout the year.
