Communications Lead (Research)

The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) is a leading research and advocacy organization focused on mitigating societal-scale risks from AI. We address AI’s toughest challenges through technical research, field-building initiatives, and policy engagement, along with our sister organization in DC, Center for AI Safety Action Fund.   Public awareness remains the single biggest bottleneck in AI safety. Fortunately, the public's interest in AI safety is growing extremely quickly. Videos, articles, and social posts about AI safety are now reaching millions, and public curiosity is compounding by the week. CAIS is building a public engagement team to harness this surge in public interest and maximize the amount of attention that AI safety receives.   We're hiring a Communications Lead to bridge research and public communication. You turn complex technical work into public communications materials (e.g., explainers, FAQs, briefs). You ensure claims are accurate and accessible, and you maintain high editorial standards across outputs. You report to the Head of Public Engagement.
