TO APPLY: https://careers.rethinkpriorities.org/postings/8457d224-4e31-477a-9cbe-84b2f86f897d?token=vVPxvrQea1sRUBejg4asx3ZH

The Institute for AI Policy and Strategy (IAPS) is seeking two Researchers / Senior Researchers (level dependent on experience) to join our Policy and Standards team in exploring concrete interventions to secure the benefits and manage the risks of advanced AI systems.

Between the two roles advertised, we will hire for a mix of the following functions (candidates are welcome to apply even if only interested in one of these):
Producing detailed research reports such as our work on Coordinated Disclosure of Dual-Use Capabilities and Deployment Corrections.
Producing rapid-response deliverables including policy memos and responses to government requests, such as our memo "Assuring Growth" for the UK government and our response to the NIST RFI on Auditing, Evaluating, and Red-Teaming AI Systems.
Location: This role is fully remote, and we are able to legally hire in most countries, though we have a preference for one of our two roles to be based in Washington DC. As a global remote team, we welcome applicants from all time zones (and already have staff across a wide variety of time zones). In certain cases, we may be able to provide visa sponsorship to the US or UK and help candidates relocate. If you have questions about whether we can hire or provide visa sponsorship in another country and if this will influence your decision about applying, please contact [email protected] before submitting your application.

Hours: We ideally seek candidates who can commit to at least 30 hours per week. However, we are open to considering exceptional candidates with reduced availability. Please note that the salary is based on a 40-hour workweek and will be prorated accordingly.
