Nuclear Science & Engineering Expert (AI Safety)

The work

You will help evaluate how AI models respond to safety-critical questions about nuclear science and engineering. The work focuses on creating and reviewing tasks that test whether requests are safe or unsafe.

You will explain the reasoning behind each judgment and improve evaluation work after receiving structured reviewer feedback.

• Write prompts and scenarios that test the boundary between safe and unsafe nuclear requests.
• Review and classify prompts created by other experts as safe or unsafe.
• Explain why a request is acceptable or where it crosses a safety boundary.
• Revise evaluation tasks in response to structured reviewer feedback.
