Biologist for AI Safety Evaluation

As a PhD-level biologist, you will play a crucial role in enhancing the safety of advanced AI models. Your scientific expertise will be applied to evaluate and improve how these models address specialized life-science topics. No prior experience in AI or machine learning is necessary, as training will be provided on the workflow.

• Write expert-level prompts across specialized life-science topics.
• Evaluate and annotate model responses for scientific accuracy, helpfulness, and appropriate handling of sensitive content.
• Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations.

• A PhD in biology or a closely related life-science field, either ongoing or completed (e.g., molecular biology, microbiology, virology, genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, immunology).
• Deep familiarity with modern laboratory and computational techniques in your subfield.
• Strong scientific reasoning and writing skills in English.
• Sound judgment regarding biosecurity and the responsible handling of dual-use information.

• Research or coursework related to biosafety/biosecurity, pathogen biology, or gain-of-function considerations.
• Experience in reviewing, grading, or red-teaming technical content.
