Expression of Interest

P-Zero Research • San Francisco Bay Area, CA

1d

About The Position

P-Zero Research is a public benefit corporation working to improve the long-term trajectory of artificial intelligence by forecasting and mitigating risks downstream of automated AI R&D. Its recent work has included improving takeoff forecasts by measuring the research taste of frontier models. As frontier labs move closer to automating their own research, P-Zero expects independent measurements and forecasts to become an important tool for pacing the frontier safely.

This is an expression of interest rather than an open role. P-Zero invites people who could make a significant contribution to its mission outside of technical research to explain how they could help. No specific role is currently open; any future role will be posted separately with its pay range. Applications are reviewed and kept on file, and P-Zero will contact applicants when there is a strong fit.

P-Zero prefers in-person work in London or the San Francisco Bay Area, but may consider remote work for exceptional candidates who can regularly overlap with core hours (8–10 a.m. Pacific / 4–6 p.m. UK). Relocation assistance is available for moves to either location. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the organization sponsors US work visas, typically O-1A, E-3, or TN, and covers legal and filing fees, including for dependants; sponsorship is not guaranteed. P-Zero cannot currently sponsor UK visas, so London-based candidates need an existing right to work in the UK or a visa held in their own right.

Requirements

• A track record of exceptional work in the candidate’s field.
• High agency and comfort with ambiguity.
• Clear, concise written communication.
• Alignment with P-Zero’s mission to improve the long-term trajectory of AI.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in government, at a frontier lab, or at an AI safety organisation.
• Based in, or able to relocate to, London or the San Francisco Bay Area.

Benefits

• Relocation allowance for moves to London or the San Francisco Bay Area.
• For San Francisco Bay Area hires, US work visa sponsorship may be available, with legal and filing fees covered, including for dependants.
