Meta(Meta Platforms)岗位:Research Scientist Intern, Scam and Trust (PhD) Responsibilities
Formulate and investigate a focused research question in adversarial scam detection and prevention.
Develop LLM reasoning and representation-learning methods that combine content, behavioral, or social-network evidence to identify scams and distinguish malicious activity from legitimate behavior.
Research agentic systems that plan investigations, use tools, and synthesize evidence, evaluating both individual decisions and end-to-end effectiveness.
Investigate recursive self-improvement and feedback-driven methods that improve agent strategies, reasoning, or workflows over successive iterations, with controlled evaluation to distinguish genuine gains from overfitting or error amplification.
Design rigorous experiments to evaluate robustness under noisy labels and distribution shift, detection–false-positive trade-offs, and computational efficiency.
Collaborate with research scientists, engineers, and cross-functional partners to prototype promising approaches, assess their applicability to production, and communicate research plans, progress, and results.
Document research findings and, where appropriate, contribute to publications and research that can inform Meta product development.
Minimum Qualifications
Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Speech Recognition, Sentiment Analysis, Computer Vision, or relevant technical field
Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
Experience with deep learning frameworks
Experience building systems based on machine learning, deep learning methods, or natural language processing
Familiarity with algorithms behind generative model training and common deep learning architectures (Transformers, BERT etc.)
Preferred Qualifications
Intent to return to the degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
Proven track record of solid research achievements as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as publications at leading AI conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP and KDD
Research or project experience in one or more of the following: LLM reasoning, agentic systems and tool use, recursive self-improvement, reinforcement learning, automated evaluation, learning from feedback, behavioral or graph representations, weak supervision, or transfer learning.
Experience applying these methods to adversarial or other real-world problems is a plus
Demonstrated software development experience via tech internships, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source machine-learning repositories
Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a fast-paced team environment.
Ideal candidates should have the ability to quickly understand and identify the research opportunities behind real-world applications, select the appropriate ML methods to explore, and proactively drive the iterations based on clear analysis of the current results
