Cavendish Labs is a new research organization in Vermont focused on technical work on existential risks. We'd like to invite you to apply to our fellowships in AI safety and biosecurity!
Positions are open for any time between June 1 and December 10, 2023. We pay a stipend of $1,500/month, plus food and housing are provided. Anyone with a technical background is encouraged to apply, even if you lack specific expertise in these fields.
Applications for summer research fellows are closing April 15th. Apply here!
(Note: we cannot sponsor visas, but citizens of VWP countries or those obtaining a B1 visa are eligible aside from the stipend)
Isn't it possible to simply contract (rather than employ) those who have or can get an ESTA, such that there's no need for a visa?
We're definitely not experts on this. It looks like contracting is not allowed, but "independent research" is. So citizens of VWP countries or those obtaining a B1 visa should be eligible to participate, but we would be unable to compensate them beyond incidental expenses (travel, food, and housing). I've updated the website to reflect this.
