Safety Research Scholar - Human Frontier Labs

You’ll meet weekly with a Scale researcher who sets the direction and gives feedback, and you will drive the day-to-day work.

Turn a high-level safety question into hypotheses, baselines, and controlled experiments, and produce work that others can inspect and build on.

Implement and debug evaluation harnesses, agent environments, datasets, monitoring methods, or post-training experiments.

Identify confounds, separate what a model can do from what it tends to do, make sense of negative results…

Are motivated by ensuring the safe and responsible development of advanced AI systems.

Are interested in technical safety research, such as alignment evaluations, AI control, monitoring, multi-agent safety, or open-weight model safety.

Are pursuing or have completed a PhD in CS, ML, statistics, mathematics, or a related field (we also encourage researchers with an equivalent track…

Can make progress with high-level guidance, including implementing, debugging, getting unstuck, interpreting results, and proposing next experiments.
