At the AI Safety Institute, we are dedicated to optimizing AI systems for state-of-the-art performance across various risk domains. Our Post-Training Team works tirelessly to fine-tune and scaffold AI models, ensuring they reach their full potential.
About the RoleWe are seeking a strong Research Scientist to join our team. As a member of this team, you will utilize cutting-edge machine learning techniques to enhance model performance in our areas of interest. Your responsibilities will include designing new techniques for scaling inference-time computation, developing methodologies for in-depth analysis of agent behavior, and implementing tools for our LLM agents.
This role offers a unique opportunity to span or alternate between research-oriented tasks and engineering responsibilities. We recognize that some technical staff may prefer to balance these aspects, and this versatility is something we actively look for in our hires.
About YouTo be successful in this role, you will require:
- A PhD in a technical field and/or papers at top ML conferences, particularly on LLMs
- Experience with machine learning engineering or extensive experience as a software engineer with relevant skills/knowledge in machine learning
- Experience building LLM agents in industry or open-source collectives, particularly in areas adjacent to our main interests
You will also have the opportunity to lead research on improving and measuring the capabilities of LLM agents, build pipelines for fine-tuning, and finetune or pretrain LLMs in a research context.
What We OfferWe offer a range of pension options, a competitive salary of approximately $140,000 per year, and the chance to work on cutting-edge projects in the field of AI safety.
