New roles, core roles, big roles, small roles - we've got it all!

Roles are remote except the RM position, with a preference for long-term employees to be in the Bay (US) or London (UK); deadline to apply for all is March 22nd!

Urgent Contract Hires: Research Engineer and Research Scientist

• These roles will support the PrincInt Ambitious Mech Interp(AMI)’s research division as it sprints for a NeurIPS submission. This is a temporary role for research engineers and scientists to help us get papers on the following topics across the line:
• • Developing new unsupervised training methods used to reverse engineer current-day systems (i.e., SAEs, Weight-Based Decomposition Methods)
  • Explore training-time uses of interpretability tools for better safety guarantees
  • Design new neural network architectures that are interpretable by design
• Candidates who excellently perform here will be also in consideration for the full-time hire

Full-Time Hires: Research Engineer and Research Scientist

• Similar to the above, and working on the same bet but more broadly, these roles are for those looking to permanently work for us rather than help us with just the NeurIPS submission.

PIBBSS Fellowship Program Director

• This is a big role that will join the core team at Principles of Intelligence. This person will lead the fellowship end-to-end: set strategy, run summer/winter selection cycles, execute the program, and supervise a global cohort of fellows and affiliates working on AI alignment research.

Technical Research Manager (Iliad Fellowship 2026 & PIBBSS Fellowship 2026)

• In-person in London only!
• We’re looking for a Research Manager to greatly own the planning, execution, and evaluation of the summer 2026 Iliad Fellowship and the 2026 PIBBSS Fellowship program. You need RM experience, and understanding of ML/Math needed to supervise our Fellows.

Opportunities with our Partners

Iliad Intensive + Iliad Fellowship

• The Iliad Intensive will cover taught coursework, serving as a widely comprehensive introduction to the field of technical AI alignment. The Iliad Fellowship will cover mentored research; it will support mentored research fellows for three months, giving them adequate time to generate substantial research outputs. Both programs will take place entirely in-person, in London.
