Job description

Description

SME Careers is assembling a small panel of nuclear and radiological professionals to audit how AI models respond to sensitive questions in the field. Each task gives you a user request and the answers three different models gave to it. You classify the request (benign, dual-use or adversarial), mark each answer as safe or unsafe and say why, rank the three against each other, and write the answer the model should have given. For dual-use requests you also note what makes it sensitive, what legitimate purpose it serves, and who should be able to get an answer.

Who we're looking for

Nuclear engineers and reactor physicists, safeguards and nonproliferation specialists (IAEA, NRC or equivalent, export control, national labs), health physicists and radiation safety officers, radiochemists, and former military or government nuclear personnel. Usually a relevant degree plus five or more years of professional experience. Experience reviewing technical work against a standard (licensing, inspection, peer review) or AI red teaming is a strong plus.

Before you apply

This role is open only to citizens or residents of the US, UK, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
