Research Engineer Intern

IntroductionThe Center for AI Safety is a research and field-building nonprofit. Our mission is to reduce catastrophic and existential risks from artificial intelligence through field-building and technical research.As a research engineer intern here, you will work very closely with our researchers on projects in fields such as Trojans, Adversarial Robustness, Power Aversion, Machine Ethics, and Out-of-Distribution Detection. We will assign you a dedicated mentor throughout your internship, but we will ultimately be treating you as a colleague. By this we mean you will have the opportunity to debate for your own experiments or projects, and defend their impact. You will plan and run experiments, conduct code reviews, and work in a small team to create a publication with outsized impact. You will leverage our internal compute cluster to run experiments at scale on large language models. We hope you will view this opportunity as the start of a long-term collaboration with CAIS.You might be a good fit if you:Are able to read an ML paper, understand the key result, and understand how it fits into the broader literature.Are comfortable setting up, launching, and debugging ML experiments.Are familiar with relevant frameworks and libraries (e.g., pytorch).Communicate clearly and promptly with teammates.Take ownership of your individual part in a project.Have co-authored a ML paper in a top conference.About UsThe Center for AI Safety is a non-profit dedicated to ensuring the safety of future artificial intelligence systems.
