Redwood Research, Berkeley
The Conceptual Reasoning Capabilities (CRC) team works on evaluating and improving AI at conceptual reasoning: reasoning about the kinds of questions commonly found in philosophy, AI strategy, and AI safety that don't have a (practically) verifiable answer and where progress comes from argumentation. We think answering these questions well is the skill AIs most urgently need to help with mitigating AI risk.
The bulk of our work is creating datasets. Depending on your skills and experience, you might also build scaffolds for models, run training experiments, come up with new project ideas, communicate our research and theory of impact, manage other researchers, or help manage our relationships with AI labs and other stakeholders.

Our application process includes work tests and interviews. In most cases we will not offer a full-time position immediately, but instead offer a 4-month work trial.
If you think you meet the requirements, please apply even if you lack the preferred skills.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
At Redwood Research, we strive to ensure the safe development of artificial intelligence through rigorous technical research, thoughtful analysis, and strategic advising.
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.
