About the job
As a Research Scientist focused on Frontier Risk Evaluations, you will design and create evaluation measures, harnesses and datasets for measuring the risks posed by frontier AI systems. For example, you might do any or all of the following: Design and build harnesses to test AI models and systems (including agents) for dangerous capabilities such as security vulnerability exploitation, CBRN uplift, and other high-risk activities; Work with government agencies or other labs to collectively scope and design evaluations to measure and mitigate risks posed by advanced AI systems; Publish evaluation methodologies and write technical reports for policymakers.
