GenAI Biosecurity Expert

# GenAI Biosecurity Expert **Department:** Intelligence **Location:** Remote **Employment Type:** Full-time ## About the Position As a GenAI Biosecurity Expert, you will play a critical role in evaluating and strengthening the safety guardrails of Generative AI systems. You will combine deep subject-matter expertise in the biological sciences with hands-on prompt research, red-teaming, and model pairing to identify dual-use risks, prevent the proliferation of biological threats, and ensure AI outputs adhere to strict biosecurity and biosafety standards. ## Key Responsibilities - Conduct hands-on adversarial red-teaming and risk evaluations to stress-test AI models against biological vulnerabilities, translating domain expertise and regulatory standards into actionable feedback for model safety alignment. - Stay current on emerging biotechnology research, biological threat vectors, and biosecurity governance to continually update safety benchmarks. ## Requirements - **Location:** Must be located in and authorized to work within the United States (excluding Illinois and Texas). - **Education:** Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Virology, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, or a closely related biological field (Master's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience considered). - **Subject-Matter Expertise:** Demonstrated hands-on or research experience with biological risk assessment, biosafety practices, or biosecurity governance. - **AI Safety Aptitude:** Strong enthusiasm and comfort with hands-on prompt engineering, red-teaming, and evaluating LLM outputs. - **Analytical Skills:** Excellent scientific rigor, attention to detail, and ability to distinguish safe educational context from actionable dual-use risk. - **Communication:** Ability to articulate complex scientific risks clearly to technical AI safety and alignment teams. ## Preferred Qualifications - Knowledge of AI prompt engineering concepts and practices, including adversarial prompt writing - Familiarity with current frontier AI safety benchmarks, evaluation frameworks, and ethical guidelines for GenAI. - **Expertise in one or more of the following biological risk areas:** - **Pathogen Analysis & Viromics:** Deep understanding of high-consequence pathogens (e.g., Ebola, Smallpox, Influenza) and host-pathogen interactions. - **Dual-Use Biotech & Genetic Modification:** Hands-on or theoretical familiarity with CRISPR, synthetic biology, gene editing hazards, and gain-of-function research. - **Toxin Research & Biomanufacturing:** Practical knowledge of DNA/RNA synthesis screening protocols, toxin research, and bioreactor scale-up risks. ## Compensation **Salary Range:** $150,000 - $178,000 (Range may vary based on experience. Salary at the time of offer will be commensurate with experience.)
