Research Scientist, Neural Interfaces (PhD)

Meta • Burlingame, CA • 2d ago

Summary:

Meta is seeking a Research Scientist to help us unleash human potential by eliminating the bottlenecks between intent and action. To achieve this, we're building a practical neural interface drawing on the rich motor neuron signals that can be measured non-invasively with neuron-level resolution. Our research lies at the intersection of computational neuroscience, machine learning, signal processing, statistics, biophysics, motor learning, perceptual psychophysics, and human-computer interaction. We're looking for people who want to shape the future of this technology and are excited about joining our collaborative research team.

Required Skills:

Research Scientist, Neural Interfaces (PhD) Responsibilities:

Build cutting-edge machine learning and signal processing models (event detection, sequence-to-sequence, signal separation, time series regression, etc.) to advance neuromotor interface capabilities.

Plan and execute cutting-edge applied research to advance neural interface capabilities. Collaborate with engineering and HCI teams to translate fundamental scientific knowledge into new technology.

Use quantitative research methods to define, iterate upon and advance key areas of our research agenda. Develop research-grade code for deployment in research proto@types.

Collaborate with engineering and Human-Computer Interactions (HCI) teams to deploy models that leverage fundamental scientific knowledge into new technology and user experiences.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Currently in the process of obtaining a PhD in the field of deep learning, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, robotics, computational neuroscience, signal processing, speech and language technologies, or related fields
