Applications for this position are now open. Applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis, and we encourage candidates to apply as soon as they are able to.
About the Team
GovAI was founded to help humanity navigate the transition to a world with advanced AI. One crucial input to achieving this mission is ensuring that our staff and visiting researchers have an excellent experience and can focus on their most important work.
Since publishing our first research agenda in 2018, we have helped define and shape the field of AI governance. Our researchers have published in top venues, including Science and Nature, and work closely with decision-makers across government, industry, and civil society. Our alumni have gone on to influential roles in government (US, UK, EU), leading AI companies (e.g. DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic), top think tanks (e.g. CSET, RAND), and leading universities (e.g. Oxford, Cambridge).
Our team and affiliate community possess expertise across risk management, threat modelling, frontier AI regulation, technical governance, agent governance, AI economics, international cooperation, US-China relations, and AI forecasting.

- You'll build the foundation for GovAI's most important work.
- Our researchers and fellows have gone on to careers at Anthropic, DeepMind, OpenAI, the White House, and top universities. The systems you build will support the next generation of AI governance leaders, ensuring they can focus on their research and impact.
