Member of Technical Staff, Evaluation Execution
METR, Berkeley
Overview
[Due to capacity constraints, we may be slow to get back to you about this role.]
About METR
We are a nonprofit research organization that develops scientific methods to assess AI capabilities, risks, and mitigations, with a specific focus on threats related to AI R&D automation and misalignment.
We believe it is robustly good for policymakers and civil society to have a clear understanding of risks from AI systems, and we are extremely excited to build a team of ambitious, excellent people to tackle one of the most important challenges of our time.
What this role looks like -
Running models on tasks. Often this means integrating models into our agent scaffolds, running them on our infrastructure and checking the results carefully. (METR both develops our own tasks internally and runs external evaluations.)
-
Communicating results and takeaways. This includes designing useful graphs, writing up conclusions for different audiences (system cards, risk reports, regulators, X, etc), and having great takes on what matters for risk.
