Researcher, Alignment

• 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 model to be calibrated on correctness and risk
• Designing novel approaches for using AI in alignment research

• 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
