Introduction

The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) is a leading research and field-building organization on a mission to reduce societal-scale risks from AI. Alongside our sister organization, the CAIS Action Fund, we tackle the toughest AI issues with a mix of technical, societal and policy solutions.

As a research engineer intern here, you will work very closely with our researchers on projects in areas such as AI security, machine ethics, AI alignment, and benchmarking AI risks. We will assign you a dedicated mentor throughout your internship, but we will ultimately be treating you as a colleague. By this we mean, you will have the opportunity to debate for your own experiments or projects, and defend their impact. You will plan and run experiments, conduct code reviews, and work in a small team to create a publication with outsized impact. You will leverage our internal compute cluster to run experiments at scale on large language models.

Timing

This application is for the full-time fall internship position. Applications are due by May 29, 2026.

You might be a good fit if you:

Are able to read an ML paper, understand the key result, and understand how it fits into the broader literature.

Are comfortable setting up, launching, and debugging ML experiments.

Are familiar with relevant frameworks and libraries (e.g., pytorch).

Communicate clearly and promptly with teammates.

Take ownership of your individual part in a project.

Have co-authored a ML paper in a top conference.
