Evaluate and strengthen Generative AI safety guardrails for chemical information. Conduct adversarial red-teaming, taxonomy audits, prompt research, and model evaluations to identify dual-use risks and prevent chemical harm enablement. Assess toxicological accuracy, clandestine synthesis content, and regulatory compliance. Document findings, rank risks, and communicate recommendations to safety and alignment teams while maintaining expertise in chemical conventions, precursor controls, and industrial safety standards.
Description
As a GenAI Chemical Safety Expert, you will play a critical role in evaluating and strengthening the safety guardrails of Generative AI systems handling chemical information. You will combine deep subject-matter expertise in the chemical sciences with hands-on prompt research, red-teaming, and model pairing to identify dual-use risks, prevent the material enablement of chemical harms, and ensure AI outputs adhere to strict chemical safety and regulatory standards.
Key Responsibilities
Execute rigorous adversarial red-teaming and comprehensive taxonomy audits to uncover latent model vulnerabilities, meticulously scrutinizing AI-generated content for toxicological precision, dual-use implications, and clandestine synthesis protocols to deliver high-fidelity, actionable intelligence to safety teams.
Maintain up-to-date knowledge on international chemical conventions, precursor controls, and industrial safety standards.
RequirementsRequirements
- Location: Must be located in and authorized to work within the United States (excluding Illinois and Texas).
- Education: Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Toxicology, Materials Science, or a related chemical science (Master’s degree with 5+ years of experience considered).
- Subject-Matter Expertise: Deep understanding of reaction mechanisms, chemical synthesis, toxicological risk, and chemical security standards.
- AI Safety Aptitude: Comfort and experience with hands-on prompt research, adversarial prompt generation, and evaluating model output safety.
- Critical Analysis: Ability to spot subtle evasive phrasing, chemical pseudonym usage, or step-by-step synthesis instructions embedded in seemingly benign queries.
- Communication: Strong technical writing skills to document findings, rank risk severities, and inform alignment decisions.
Preferred Qualifications
- Knowledge of AI prompt engineering concepts and practices, including adversarial prompt writing
- Familiarity with frontier AI safety benchmarks, evaluation frameworks, and ethical guidelines for GenAI.
- Expertise in one or more of the following chemical risk areas:
- Chemical Synthesis: Deep understanding of reaction pathways, precursor controls, dual-use chemical synthesis, and illicit acquisition/diversion pathways.
- Toxicology: Practical knowledge of toxicological mechanisms, aerosolization, exposure pathways, and chemical hazards.
- Chemical Security: Familiarity with Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) controls, analytical forensics/detection systems, and emergency decontamination frameworks.
The salary range for this role in the US is $150K - $178K - Range may vary based on experience. Salary at the time of offer will be commensurate with experience.
