Generalist (Workshops)

Lead a new team with a broad mandate to pursue high-impact opportunities for the AI safety ecosystem, including one-off projects and Kairos’s next programs. We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis. About Kairos Kairos is a nonprofit accelerating talent into AI safety and policy. 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 Role Kairos has historically made a small number of large, ongoing bets, like SPAR and Pathfinder. Running Generator taught us that this left a lot of value on the table. A surprising number of time-bound opportunities are worth pursuing, whether that’s an event, a one-off program, or a project that responds to a narrow window for impact, even when they don’t have a clean home elsewhere in the ecosystem. We’re starting a Special Projects team to go after them. The team has a broad mandate and a large initial budget. You’d pursue high-impact opportunities as we find them, in talent w…

Join Kairos’s university groups team to support AI safety group organizers through the Pathfinder Fellowship and shape what Kairos does for university groups next. Depending on experience, we consider candidates for the Generalist (Groups) or Senior Generalist (Groups) version of this role. We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis.
