Application Deadline: 1st August, 2025
We're looking for a Technical AI Safety Programme Manager to join our team at Cambridge AI Safety Hub (housed under Meridian Cambridge) — a small, ambitious organisation building a community of researchers focused on AI safety and the long-term future of humanity.
This role will help develop and run our AI safety education and research programmes. You'll work with University of Cambridge students, researchers, and industry people, to create talent pipelines in AI Safety.
You'll design programs, coordinate with researchers, and build the systems that move people from "interested in AI safety" to "working on AI safety problems." The goal is creating a reliable pipeline from education to real jobs.
Run research programmes: You'll help manage the research and operations of MARS and our Visiting Researchers Programme.
Workshop design & delivery: You'll design and facilitate AI safety workshops, fellowship, and lectures for Cambridge students and professionals, both technical and non-technical alike.
Host events: Help organise and run workshops, speaker events, lab meetings, journal clubs, and other community events.
Build relationships: Stay in close contact with students, fellows, collaborators, and senior researchers, strengthening our local and global research networks, and attract Cambridge talent to AI safety careers.
Field-building strategy: As Meridian grows, you'll help expand our AI safety offerings and help inform and direct where talent, money, and time are dedicated.
AI safety knowledge: You understand AI safety research — the key problems, current methods, and ongoing debates. You can explain these concepts clearly to people who aren't researchers.
Programme experience: You've planned events, facilitated workshops, or run educational/research programmes before.
Strategic thinking: You can see how individual programs fit into bigger talent development goals.
People skills: You can work with researchers, academics, and industry folks to create partnerships that benefit everyone.
You'll work from our hub in central Cambridge with 100+ researchers, technologists and founders working on AI safety, biosecurity, and related problems. Direct access to leading researchers and resources to build programmes that matter.
Submit an application through our online form. Successful applicants will be invited to interview with the team and complete a work test.
Initial applications close 1st August, 2025.
