Research Scientist Intern, Neural Rendering, Digital Avatars (PhD)

The Reality Labs Research (RL-R) Team in Zurich, CH is looking for research interns to tackle the most ambitious problems in the creation of digital avatars. In this internship, we aim to build a neural renderer that delivers high-quality avatar appearance under a wide range of body motions and face expressions. We plan to leverage pre-trained generative models with additional controls over body pose, face expressions and hair motion, and work towards generation of 4D-consistent avatars. We envision a world where people connect across vast distances so our roles focus on generation and modeling avatars with a highly detailed appearance. As part of our team you will explore new ways of generating controllable avatars and will be able to leverage high-quality captures and/or synthetic data to go beyond existing state-of-the-art approaches. Our internships are sixteen (16) to twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. Research Topics: *Virtual characters, animatable avatar creation *Controllable video generation *Real-time neural rendering
