General Interest Submission

We’d like to hear from anyone who would like to work with us in any capacity. We're pretty unsure about our longer-term hiring plans and contractor needs, and we are open to expressions of interest and proposals. Some groups that may want to use this form could be alignment researchers, engineers, communicators, operations specialists, contractors offering a specific service, and those that aren’t quite ready to seek a new position.

If you don’t fit those categories but believe you can potentially help METR with its work, please also feel free to use this to register your interest.

Here is a list of potential future roles.

Application Process

We’ll ask you to attach your most recent CV and let us know what ways you think you could potentially contribute to the METR team. We plan to keep expressions of interest in our system long-term, and to review them as new needs come up. We don’t expect to respond to submissions here unless and until we believe there is a potential fit for our team or work. It may be that we reach out far into the future (e.g. in 1 year) as new needs develop.

We also may not review your application to this for some time (it's more of a candidate roster we review on occasion). If you're interested in actively working for us now, you should apply to an opening if there is one fitting.

If we choose to move forward with your application, we'll typically ask you to do 1 to 3 work tests (in addition to 1-2 interviews).

For some roles the first of these work tests is expected to take less than 45 minutes, for others, it may take up to three hours. If we ask you to do a work test that is expected to take more than 1 hour (typical interview length), we will compensate you at a competitive hourly rate for your time.

After the first 1-2 work tests, we'll schedule an interview to discuss the ideas behind the project, what you're looking for in a role, ask you any questions we have, and provide time for any other questions you have.

After that we'd optimally do a 1-4 week trial period; we're open to figuring out how to manage this with each candidate.
