Join our team

The ML Alignment & Theory Scholars (MATS) program aims to find and train talented individuals for what we see as the world’s most urgent and talent-constrained problem: reducing risks from unaligned artificial intelligence. We believe that ambitious young researchers from a variety of backgrounds have the potential to contribute to the field of AI safety research.

We aim to provide the mentorship, curriculum, financial support, and community necessary to facilitate this contribution. Please see our theory of change for more details.
