ERA fellows tackle some of the most urgent technical and governance challenges related to frontier AI, ranging from investigating open-weight model safety to scoping new tools for international AI governance. At ERA, our mission is to advance the scientific and policy breakthroughs needed to mitigate risks from this powerful and transformative technology.During this fellowship, you will have the opportunity to:
I will be a research manager for this upcoming cohort. As an RM, I'll be supporting junior researchers by matching them with mentors, brainstorming research questions, and executing empirical research projects. My research style favors fast feedback loops, clear falsifiable hypotheses, and intellectual rigor.
I hope we can work together! Participating in this last Summer's fellowship significantly improved the impact of my research and was my gateway into pursuing AGI safety research full-time. Feel free to DM me or comment here with questions.
