GovAI was founded to help humanity navigate the transition to a world with advanced AI. One way we accomplish that mission is by producing research that can help to inform key decision-makers. We are looking for a Research Manager to support that work.
As Research Manager, you will be responsible for managing and continually improving the systems that underlie our research pipeline. These include systems for project selection, feedback, publication, and dissemination.
Your role will also encompass organising internal and external seminars, identifying further ways to support collaboration and intellectual exchange, and helping to craft an intellectually vibrant environment.
