About the role
Responsibilities
Develop and evaluate alignment capabilities that are subjective, context-dependent, and hard to measure.
Design evaluations to reliably measure risks and alignment with human intent and values.
Build tools and evaluations to study and test model robustness in different situations.
Design experiments to understand laws for how alignment scales as a function of compute, data, lengths of context and action, as well as resources of adversaries.
Design and evaluate new Human-AI-interaction paradigms and scalable oversight methods that redefine how humans interact with, understand, and supervise our models.
Train models to be calibrated on correctness and risk.
Design novel approaches for using AI in alignment research.
Requirements
Team player – willing to do a variety of tasks that move the team forward.
PhD or equivalent experience in research in computer science, computational science, data science, cognitive science, or similar fields.
Strong engineering skills, particularly in designing and optimizing large-scale machine learning systems (e.g., PyTorch).
Deep understanding of the science behind alignment algorithms and techniques.
Can develop data visualization or data collection interfaces (e.g., TypeScript, Python).
Enjoy fast-paced, collaborative, and cutting-edge research environments.
Want to focus on developing AI models that are trustworthy, safe, and reliable, especially in high-stakes scenarios.
Researcher designing and running experiments on chain-of-thought monitorability in frontier LLMs to support scalable oversight and alignment. Requires strong empirical ML expertise with LLMs, deep interest in model behavior/alignment/interpretability, and ability to translate ambiguous questions into concrete experiments.
