Senior Research Scientist, AI Bio Capabilities Verification

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Research Scientist, AI Bio Capabilities Verification based in the United States. The Senior Research Scientist will lead experimental research to determine whether the biological capabilities demonstrated by AI models in computational evaluations translate into real-world biological performance. Working within a foundational research team, you will design and conduct rigorous in vitro studies that help establish reliable evidence of AI-enabled biological capabilities and inform critical pre-release safety decisions. You will bridge computational evaluations and laboratory science, developing practical experimental methods for emerging capabilities where established benchmarks do not yet exist. The role offers an opportunity to shape a growing research program, contribute to the development of a BSL-2 laboratory, and collaborate with AI researchers, wet-lab specialists, and policy stakeholders. You will also help translate complex findings into clear, actionable evidence for researchers, AI developers, and policymakers. This is a full-time, mission-driven research position with a strong emphasis on scientific rigor, responsible experimentation, and biosecurity.
