GenAI Biosecurity Expert
As a GenAI Biosecurity Expert, you will play a critical role in evaluating and strengthening the safety guardrails of Generative AI systems. You will combine deep subject-matter expertise in the biological sciences with hands-on prompt research, red-teaming, and model pairing to identify dual-use risks, prevent the proliferation of biological threats, and ensure AI outputs adhere to strict biosecurity and biosafety standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct hands-on adversarial red-teaming and risk evaluations to stress-test AI models against biological vulnerabilities, translating domain expertise and regulatory standards into actionable feedback for model safety alignment.
- Stay current on emerging biotechnology research, biological threat vectors, and biosecurity governance to continually update safety benchmarks.
Requirements
Location:
- Must be located in and authorized to work within the United States (excluding Illinois and Texas).

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Virology, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, or a closely related biological field (Master’s degree with 5+ years of relevant experience considered).
Subject-Matter Expertise:
- Demonstrated hands-on or research experience with biological risk assessment, biosafety practices, or biosecurity governance.
AI Safety Aptitude:
- Strong enthusiasm and comfort with hands-on prompt engineering, red-teaming, and evaluating LLM outputs.
Analytical Skills:
- Excellent scientific rigor, attention to detail, and ability to distinguish safe educational context from actionable dual-use risk.
Communication:
- Ability to articulate complex scientific risks clearly to technical AI safety and alignment teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Knowledge of AI prompt engineering concepts and practices, including adversarial prompt writing
- Familiarity with current frontier AI safety benchmarks, evaluation frameworks, and ethical guidelines for GenAI.
- Expertise in one or more of the following biological risk areas:
- Pathogen Analysis & Viromics: Deep understanding of high-consequence pathogens (e.g., Ebola, Smallpox, Influenza) and host-pathogen interactions.
- Dual-Use Biotech & Genetic Modification: Hands-on or theoretical familiarity with CRISPR, synthetic biology, gene editing hazards, and gain-of-function research.
- Toxin Research & Biomanufacturing: Practical knowledge of DNA/RNA synthesis screening protocols, toxin research, and bioreactor scale-up risks.
