Biologist: AI Safety & Biosecurity SME

Google LLC; Greater London; Híbrido; GBP 100.000 - 140.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Google’s CBRNE team invites qualified biologists for the role of a biologist/microbiologist SME in the Responsible Frontier AI Research group. You will evaluate and mitigate safety risks of frontier AI models in biology and contribute to the development of mitigations.

The position requires strong biology background, collaboration across disciplines, and clear communication with leadership and external stakeholders.

Formación

• PhD or equivalent practical experience in wet-lab virology/microbiology/biology or related field.
• 3 years of wet-lab experience with dual-use research, high-consequence pathogens, or biological toxins.
• Experience utilizing LLMs or narrow-use AI models to analyze and mitigate biological risks.
• Authored peer-reviewed publications across microbiology, virology, host-pathogen interactions, protein biochemistry, or immunology.

Responsabilidades

• Be responsible to test, evaluate, and mitigate harmful capabilities of frontier AI models in the biology domain.
• Design, develop and execute biology evaluations, assessments, frameworks, and red-teaming strategies to test the capability, safety, and uplift of AI models and support the development of mitigations.
• Collaborate with CBRNE/Responsibility engineers to ensure blocks on harmful outputs without overly degrading the model's scientific utility, requiring a deep understanding of dual use science.
• Partner with experts in various fields of CBRN, science, AI ethics, policy and safety.
• Support the ongoing development and refinement of Google’s CBRNE safety policy, and clearly communicating complex risks, evaluation findings, and mitigation strategies to leadership and technical and non-technical external stakeholders.
