About the Role
Meta is seeking Research Scientists to join its Generative AI (GenAI) organization, focused on making significant advances in AI. We work on the flagship Llama language models and publish state-of-the-art research in Machine Learning. We are currently seeking talented researchers with experience in NLP to join our London site and work with us on extending the capabilities of large foundation models. Researchers will drive impact by: (1) publishing state-of-the-art research papers, (2) open sourcing high quality code and reproducible results for the community, and (3) bringing the latest research to Facebook products for connecting billions of users. The chosen candidate(s) will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and cross-functional partners, and will have access to cutting edge technology, resources, and research facilities.
