Research Scientist Intern, Generative AI (PhD)

Zurich, Switzerland

Our Maps Research team explores, develops, and delivers novel and cutting-edge technologies for photorealistic 3D scene reconstruction and generation, serving as the foundation for future AR/VR products. Our team is addressing a variety of technical challenges in the areas of consistent 3D generation, reconstruction refinement, and large-scale training. We're looking for candidates who share a passion for exploring and solving complex, challenging problems of 3D generative modeling.We are looking for an exceptional PhD student with a proven track record in developing generative approaches for solving computer vision and graphics problems (e.g., conditional, generative models for videos or 3D content), as well as an outstanding software engineer who can prototype invented algorithms.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
