Join Kairos’s new Special Projects team to help launch and run the tactical projects we take on.
Depending on experience, we consider candidates for the Generalist (Special Projects) or Senior Generalist (Special Projects) version of this role.
We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis.
In just over two years, we’ve trained 1,200+ people through our flagship programs:SPAR: The largest AI safety research fellowship, with 800+ mentees per round mentored by researchers from Anthropic, Redwood Research, RAND, MIT, the UK AI Security Institute, and others.
Generator Residency: In partnership with Constellation, a platform for generalist talent to pitch, build, and ship projects that build capacity and infrastructure across the AI safety ecosystem, with advisors from OpenAI, AI Futures Project, METR, and more.
Global Challenges Project: A workshop series introducing promising students to careers in AI safety and biosecurity, run several times a year across Oxford, Boston, and Berkeley.
Pathfinder Fellowship: Helping grow the global network of AI safety university groups from a few dozen to nearly 100, with $9.
5M in funding over the next two years to support their work.
We see ourselves as a portfolio of highly impactful projects in a fast-evolving field.
Over the next six months, we expect to double in size and launch several new initiatives addressing critical gaps in the ecosystem.
The RoleKairos has historically made a small number of large, ongoing bets, like SPAR and Pathfinder.
We’ve learned that a surprising number of time-bound opportunities are worth pursuing too, whether that’s an event, a one-off program, or a project that responds to a narrow window for impact.
Our new Special Projects team exists to go after them, and we’re looking for a generalist to help get its projects off the ground.
Some of these projects will be short-lived by design.
Others may become lasting programs.
