Research Scientist Intern - Content Seal - FAIR

Meta is looking for Research Interns to join our Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) organization, within Meta Superintelligence Labs. The role of FAIR is to drive long-term research for Meta. We publish groundbreaking papers and release frameworks/libraries that are widely used in the open-source community. We closely collaborate with other organizations at Meta to bring the latest research findings to production.

The team where this role sits is exploring new approaches to making AI safer, fighting deepfakes and preventing harmful content. Past work in that space includes watermarking models such as TextSeal, AudioSeal, or VideoSeal, and downstream extensions such as data traceability and benchmark leakage detection. The mission is to develop state-of-the-art algorithms that can protect our users across our platforms, with a focus on open research and scientific novelty.

This is a 2026 internship opportunity with start dates from May to September. To learn more about our research, visit https://research.facebook.com.
