We are looking for Special Projects Fellows to join SAFL across five tracks. This is a versatile role for people who want to contribute to the science and practice of trustworthy AI while growing into broader responsibilities. This role is ideally for people with 1 to 3 years of relevant experience, though the right level varies by track, and we will consider exceptional people who fall outside it. You can apply to one track or say you are open to more than one. You will work closely with SAFL leadership and drive a lot of the execution yourself.
Across every track, roughly 20 to 25 percent of your time will go to operations and organisational work, so comfort with hands-on execution and coordination matters whichever track you join. Helping run our physical co-working spaces, the Secure AI Hubs, is a shared responsibility of the fellows.
For people with significant relevant experience, we can also hire for a senior version of this role. We also encourage exceptional people who do not have this experience to apply.
SAFL is in a field that moves quickly.
The work is demanding, and we mean that plainly. You will own problems from end to end, often with no transparent precedent to follow. Priorities will change as the field changes, and you will need to change with them. Much of what you do will be seen by funders, government partners, and researchers outside the lab, so the standard is high. If you want a role with a fixed scope and a settled routine, this is not that role. If you want to test yourself on hard problems and grow quickly, you will find that here.
