The program is open to students in any year of their PhD study. We also encourage people of diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply, especially those from traditionally underrepresented minority groups. Applications are evaluated based on the strength of the student=E2=80=99s r= esearch statement, publication record, and recommendation letters. Available Fellowships: AI System HW SW Co-Design Applied Statistics AR/VR Computer Graphics AR/VR Future Technologies AR/VR Human Computer Interaction AR/VR Human Understanding AR/VR Perception, Cognition & Action AR/VR Photonics and Optics *Audio Presence * *Augmented Reality Audio* Blockchain and Cryptoeconomics Computational Social Science Database Systems Distributed Systems Economics and Computation Networking Privacy and Data Use Programming Languages Security and Privacy Winners are entitled to receive tuition and fees paid for the academic year (up to two years/four semesters), a $42,000 annual stipend to cover living and conference travel costs, a paid visit to Facebook headquarters for the annual Fellowship Summit (pending COVID-19 restrictions) and various opportunities to engage with Facebook researchers. For full details and to apply, please visit the Facebook Fellowship Page or read our latest blog with resources for applicants. These two fellowships are sponsored by our audio research group in Redmond, you can learn more about our work in this article. <https://about.fb.com/news/2020/09/facebook-reality-labs-research-future-of= -audio/> Please feel free to contact me directly with questions.
