Research Scientist, Anthropic

• Have a strong track record of scientific research (in any field), and have done some work on Interpretability
• Enjoy team science – working collaboratively to make big discoveries
• Are comfortable with messy experimental science. We're inventing the field as we work, and the first textbook is years away
• You view research and engineering as two sides of the same coin. Every team member writes code, designs and runs experiments, and interprets results
• You can clearly articulate and discuss the motivations behind your work, and teach us about what you've learned. You like writing up and communicating your results, even when they're null
• Familiarity with Python is required for this role

• We often collaborate with teams across Anthropic, such as Alignment Science and Societal Impacts to use our work to make Anthropic’s models safer. We also have an Interpretability Architectures project that involves collaborating with Pretraining
• If you would be especially excited to work on a project that touches upon the intersection of Interpretability and another team, feel free to note down the specific team(s) you’d be interested in collaborating with
• Develop methods for understanding LLMs by reverse engineering algorithms learned in their weights
• Design and run robust experiments, both quickly in toy scenarios and at scale in large models
• Build infrastructure for running experiments and visualizing results
• Work with colleagues to communicate results internally and publicly
