We foresee a new generation of experiences driven by machine learning that could revolutionize digital content creation in areas ranging from photography and video, to 3D modeling and animation, to graphic design. Making these tools and experiences a reality will require major research advances.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">We are looking to hire PhD research and software engineering interns in computer graphics, computer vision, and HCI to advance the state of the art in digital content creation. For research interns, we intend to publish our work in top-tier venues like SIGGRAPH, CVPR, and UIST; ideally, the internship will become the basis for a long-term collaboration along with your PhD adviser. For software engineering interns, we will partner closely with product teams to deliver the technology we create as products or services.</span><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">So far, our team includes </span><a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=8E442bkAAAAJ" style="text-decoration-line:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">David Salesin</span></a><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> (San Francisco), </span><a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=tlh8i7gAAAAJ&hl=en" style="text-decoration-line:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Brian Curless</span></a><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> (Seattle), </span><a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=DQ4838YAAAAJ" style="text-decoration-line:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Dominik Kaeser</span></a><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> (NYC), and </span><a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=MnXc4JQAAAAJ" style="text-decoration-line:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Janne Kontkanen</span></a><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> (San Francisco).
