**Summary:** The Meta Reality Labs Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR, VR and MR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interfaces, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR, VR and MR that are so compelling that they become an integral part of our lives.In particular, the Meta Reality Labs Research Audio team is focused on two goals; creating virtual sounds that are perceptually indistinguishable from reality and redefining human hearing. See more about our work here: https://tech.facebook.com/reality-labs/2020/09/inside-facebook-reality-labs-research-the-future-of-audio/. The role requires a background in audiology, hearing science, auditory physiology, neuroscience, or hearing aid / cochlear implant signal processing. Successful candidates will have strong skills in audiology, speech intelligibility assessment and modeling, speech enhancement, and/or machine learning with signal processing. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. **Required Skills:** Audio Research Scientist Intern Responsibilities: 1. Design, conduct, and analyze audiologic experiments and measurements, including pure-tone and speech audiometry, otoacoustic emissions, auditory evoked potentials, real-ear measurements, and psychoacoustic testing. 2. Conduct basic and applied research in hearing science and auditory perception. Focus on enhancing speech intelligibility in noisy environments and developing hearing assistance solutions. 3. Communication of research agenda, progress, and full analyses of results. 4. Design and implementation of novel algorithms to solve audio research problems. 5. Experimental design, implementation, and execution to evaluate new audio technologies. 6. Collaboration with other researchers across audio and acoustic engineering disciplines. **Minimum Qualifications:** Minimum Qualifications: 7. Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD and in the field of Hearing Science, Audiology, Neuroscience, Signal Processing or similar or a related field 8. 1+ years of experience designing, conducting, and analyzing audiologic experiments and measurements (e.g. speech in noise performance, PTA, ABR, etc) 9. 1+ years of experience in MATLAB, Python, C/C++, or equivalent programming language 10. 1+ years of experience in binaural rendering, spatial hearing, or signal processing 11. Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment **Preferred Qualifications:** Preferred Qualifications: 12. Experience in conducting audiologic experiments and measurements (e.g., pure-tone and speech audiometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAE), auditory evoked potentials, real-ear measurements, and psychoacoustic testing) 13. Experience in real-time audio and audio algorithms development 14. Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at relevant journals or conferences, e.g. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO), NeurIPS, ICML, IEEE MLSP, Acoustical Society of America (ASA), and Audio Engineering Society (AES) 15. Intent to return to a degree-program after the completion of the internship/co-op 16. Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment **Public Compensation:** $7,313/month to $12,134/month + benefits **Industry:** Internet **Equal Opportunity:** Meta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
