**Summary:** The Applied Perception Science (APS) team at Meta Reality Labs is seeking a research scientist intern to join our vision science program, focusing on evaluating image quality in augmented reality (AR) displays. This role will help pioneer foundational research into how quality is perceived in see-through displays with novel architectures, addressing critical gaps in existing perceptual science and enabling display technologies in next-generation AR devices.You will work alongside a highly interdisciplinary team of display, electrical sensor and software engineers and scientists with backgrounds in optics, graphics and machine and human perception. The ideal candidate will have a passion for the intersection of display, optical, and system engineering and computer and human visionOur internships are sixteen (16) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. **Required Skills:** Research Scientist Intern, Applied Vision and Image Quality (PhD) Responsibilities: 1. Work on topics in perception and imaging science (image and text quality, quality metrics, perceptual metrology, etc.) to support research in AR head-mounted display technologies 2. Conceive and develop simulations of AR devices to help guide emerging AR display technologies 3. Design and conduct psychophysical experiments to quantify artifact visibility and image quality in AR displays 4. Conduct psychophysical user studies on both benchtop testbeds and head-mounted prototypes to help guide emerging AR display technologies 5. Collaborate and communicate with scientists and engineers across a variety of disciplines to design vision science studies in an applied context **Minimum Qualifications:** Minimum Qualifications: 6. In the process of obtaining a PhD degree in Vision Science, Computer Graphics, or related field 7. Experience designing, conducting, and analyzing the results of psychophysical experiments related to visual perception, computer graphics, and/or display systems 8. Experience with scientific programming languages (e.g., Python and Matlab) including their use to script psychophysical experiments 9. 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: 10. Familiarity with imaging science, optical engineering or computational imaging, with a strong publication record in top venues 11. Demonstrated expertise in psychophysics or vision science and experience designing and running human subject experiments 12. Experience with Unity/C#, Python/Psychopy, or MATLAB, particularly for the development of psychophysical experiments 13. Experience working with benchtop stereoscopic displays, head-mounted displays, or other hardware to study the visual system 14. Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment 15. Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship **Public Compensation:** $7,650/month to $12,134/month + benefits **Industry:** Internet **Equal Opportunity:** Meta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
