METR assesses AI capabilities, risks and mitigations, with a specific focus on threats related to autonomy, AI R&D automation, and alignment. This primarily means advancing the science of AI measurement, with a particular focus on understanding frontier AI systems’ ability to complete complex tasks without human input. It also involves executing those measurements, directly assessing the capability of frontier AI systems, to inform risk assessments and consensus within the AI industry, among policymakers, and the public. Our work has been cited by NIST, a US President, the UK Government, Nature News, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and others. We’re sufficiently connected to relevant parties (labs, governments, and academia) that any good work we do or insights we uncover can quickly be leveraged. We encourage you to apply even if your background may not seem like the perfect fit! We would rather review a larger pool of applications than risk missing out on a promising candidate for the position. We are committed to diversity and equal opportunity in all aspects of our hiring process. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We welcome and encourage all qualified candidates to apply for our open positions.
