We want to understand the world. Why? Because we believe that's the only way to move toward a world that's more open and connected, which is Facebook's mission. From studying the impact of technology on society, to building systems that can connect billions of people and advancing the field of artificial intelligence, Research at Facebook is focused on solving some of the hardest global and engineering challenges of our time.
Our researchers are recognized leaders in their fields, and work in collaboration with many of the top universities in the world. Their research informs the development of products and other innovations that serve the Facebook community and contribute to academic study in the computer, social and data sciences.
We are looking to understand intelligence and to make intelligent machines.
You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.
How do you scale to the next billion users? We are discovering how.
We are understanding people’s interactions with each other through technology.
The Fellowship Program is open to full-time PhD students (domestic and international) who are currently involved in ongoing research in topical areas represented by these fellowships.
Open Academy is a new Facebook program that offers open source project experience to computer science students at top universities around the globe.
