Job Description

The Applied Perception Science (APS) team at Meta Reality Labs is seeking a research scientist intern to join our vision science program, focusing on visual perception in augmented reality (AR) headsets. This role will help pioneer foundational research into the interaction between AR digital content and the real world in see-through displays, informing display technologies in next-generation AR devices. You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers to design and conduct psychophysical experiments, develop new metrics of visual perception in AR, and build a new research stream quantifying visual performance in AR hardware. Your work will directly inform the design and optimization of AR display architectures, ensuring that Meta's products deliver industry-leading visual experiences. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Job Responsibility

  • Work on topics in spatio-temporal/color perception during eye movements to support research in AR head-mounted display technologies
  • Design and conduct psychophysical experiments to quantify visual perception with AR displays, including studies that account for individual differences in visual perception and novel display architectures
  • Conceive and develop models of visual perception to help guide emerging AR display technologies
  • Collaborate and communicate with scientists and engineers across a variety of disciplines to design vision science studies in an applied context

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a PhD degree in vision science, cognitive science, or a related field
  • Experience designing, conducting, and analyzing the results of psychophysical experiments related to visual perception
  • Experience with scientific programming languages (e.g., Matlab and Python), including their use to script psychophysical experiments
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

Nice to have

  • Demonstrated expertise in vision science, psychophysics, computational modeling, or eye movement analysis
  • Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as VSS, ECVP, SID, SIGGRAPH, or similar
  • Experience designing and running human subject experiments
  • Experience with Python/Psychopy, or MATLAB, particularly for the development of psychophysical experiments
  • Experience working with benchtop displays, head-mounted displays, or other hardware to study the visual system
  • Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment
  • Intent to return to degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
