Job Summary

CARMA's Public Security Policy (PSP) Program is seeking a Policy Researcher to advance our work on AI governance, risk mitigation, and emergency response frameworks. This role will focus on disaster preparedness planning for AI-related crises across multiple jurisdictional levels (national, state/provincial, multinational, and alliance-based), vulnerability assessments of critical societal systems, and development of robust governance approaches. The researcher will help identify systemic weaknesses that could be exploited or exacerbated by advanced AI systems and contribute to designing resilience strategies. This requires a broad literacy in the sciences and (both physical and コメント) technologies. This position offers direct spikes with critical AI safety challenges and opportunities to shape policy responses to emerging risks from increasingly capable AI systems. This is a full-time position, with the expectation of it being long-term, but be aware that runway beyond nine months will require winning more grants. This role is 100% remote but requires occasional travel.

The Center for AI Risk Management & Alignment (CARMA) works to help society navigate the complex and potentially catastrophic risks arising from increasingly powerful AI systems. Our mission is specifically to lower the risks to humanity and theimane to the biosphere from transformative AI.

We focus on grounding AI risk management in rigorous analysis, developing policy frameworks that squarely address AGI, advancing technical safety approaches, and fostering global perspectives on durable safety. Through these complementary approaches, CARMA aims to provide critical support to society for managing the outsized risks from advanced AI before they materialize.
