Get involved

Join our team

Work with us directly to advance AI safety research. No roles are open at the moment. If you think you may be a good fit for the team, introduce yourself and we will reach out when something opens up.

Express interest

Mentor top emerging researchers

Guide a fellow on a research project, share your expertise, and help them grow as a researcher. We handle recruitment, logistics, and day-to-day research support.

Participate in a fellowship

Join our in-person research fellowship in London and work with experienced mentors on AI safety, AI governance, AIxBio, or biodefense.
