Nuclear & Radiological Security Expert for AI Model Training

Apply domain expertise in nuclear physics, radiological safety, nonproliferation, and safeguards to define technical standards and protocols that will inform next-generation AI systems. This contractor role is remote and focuses on creating evaluation criteria, safe information-abstraction frameworks, and escalation procedures for nuclear and radiological risk contexts. No prior AI experience is required; domain knowledge is the primary qualification.

• Define evaluation scope and standards for nuclear and radiological safety, nonproliferation, and security.
• Develop frameworks for safely abstracting sensitive or classified technical information in model training and documentation.
• Establish escalation thresholds and protocols for responding to nuclear security risks in research and operational settings.
• Provide expert guidance on benchmarking nuclear and radiological risk assessments and on effective nonproliferation safeguards.
• Review, refine, and validate technical guidelines for nuclear and radiological safety to support advanced-model training.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary stakeholders to balance security protections with legitimate scientific progress and policy objectives.
• Document best practices, decision rationales, and compliance considerations for information security in nuclear domains.
• Contribute domain-specific inputs that will be used to train and evaluate AI systems.

• Required skills: nuclear physics, radiological safety, nonproliferation, safeguards.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in nuclear physics, radiological safety, nonproliferation, or nuclear safeguards; senior contributors typically have 8 to 20 years of experience.
• Advanced degree, professional certification, or equivalent operational experience in nuclear or radiological fields.
• Experience with government agencies, national laboratories, regulatory bodies, or academic research related to nuclear security or policy is preferred.
• Thorough understanding of nonproliferation frameworks, international safeguards, and controls relevant to weapons or proliferation risks.
• Track record of credibility in nuclear or radiological safety communities and strong written and verbal communication skills for translating complex technical topics.
• Experience contributing to or overseeing security evaluations, compliance protocols, or risk assessments within sensitive technical environments.

• Role type: Contractor.
• Location: Remote.
• Engagement focuses on defining standards and guidance to support model training and evaluation in nuclear and radiological security domains.

• Pay rate: $50.00 to $90.00 per hour.

• Candidates must be able to contract as independent contractors under the engagement terms.
• No AI-specific prior experience is required; applicants must demonstrate the listed domain expertise and relevant work history.
