London, Greater London, United Kingdom AI Safety Institute Full time
AI Safety Institute: Mechanistic Interpretability Team Lead

AISI is launching a pioneering Mechanistic Interpretability team to tackle the fundamental question of how can we tell if a model is scheming? This is an ambitious bet to bring interpretability as a field into prime time. We believe that this is a vital challenge that mechanistic interpretability can help solve, ensuring that dangerous capability evaluations can be reliably determined if models are safe to release even when the models themselves are capable of gaming the evals. We also think it can lead to an entirely new field of alignment evaluations and make substantial contributions to the problem of technical AI safety.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead a team of research scientists and engineers in mechanistic interpretability research
  • Develop and implement novel methods for training sparse auto encoders and circuit discovery/analysis
  • Collaborate with world-class multi-disciplinary teams to advance AI safety research
  • Contribute to the development of comprehensive understanding of large language models and their applications
Requirements:
  • Strong track-record of academic excellence in AI safety research
  • Experience working within a research team that has delivered multiple exceptional scientific breakthroughs in deep learning
  • Comprehensive understanding of large language models and their applications
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills
What We Offer:
  • Scientific autonomy and the ability to chase ambitious research bets
  • Coaching from experienced managers and mentorship from research directors
  • A comprehensive benefits package, including pension options
