Join to apply for the Research Scientist, AI-Mediated Reality and Interaction Research – PhD New College Grad 2026 role at NVIDIA
.

NVIDIA Research’s "AI-Mediated Reality and Interaction" team is looking for a research scientist. Our mission is to create interactive physical AIs capable of operating in dynamic 4D worlds. We conduct fundamental research on the algorithms, theory and application of human‑AI interaction and 4D world modeling using new ideas in artificial intelligence (AI), neural rendering, graphics, generative modeling, large language models, human behavior understanding and digital human creation.

That research impacts many existing NVIDIA products, including Isaac, Omniverse, Metropolis, NuRec, XR, AI4

Media, XR, and helps create new ones. We need a highly creative, independent and self‑starting research scientist to help us invent that future. Come join a diverse research group that collaboratively works on hard and meaningful interdisciplinary problems with passion, drive, and curiosity; that consistently publishes and demonstrates cutting‑edge technology at top venues in computer vision, artificial intelligence and graphics; and that values real impact on NVIDIA products and the industry at large.

• Propose, research, prototype and test innovative research ideas.
• Publish at top conferences and patent research ideas.
• Collaborate with other research team members, external researchers and mentor interns.
• Create working interactive demonstrations to showcase your research ideas.
• Participate in technology transfer with engineers around NVIDIA as ideas graduate from research to product.

• Ph.D. in Computer Science/Electrical Engineering or equivalent research experience.
• Outstanding research track record in top-tier conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS, ICLR, etc.).
• Proficiency in theory and practice of AI and computer vision algorithms.
• Experience with 3D graphics development.
• Strong programming skills in Python, C++, CUDA.
• Proficiency with distributed deep learning training frameworks, e.g., PyTorch.
• Excellent communication skills.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 160,000 USD – 258,750 USD.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
