Constellation Astra Requirements
They are looking for talented people that are excited to pursue new ideas and projects that advance safe AI.
You may be a strong fit if you:
- Are motivated to reduce catastrophic risks from advanced AI
- Bring technical or domain-specific experience relevant to the focus areas (e.g., technical research, security, governance, policy, strategy, field-building)
- Would like to transition into a full-time AI safety role or start your own AI safety focused organization
Prior AI safety experience is not required. Many of our most impactful fellows entered from adjacent fields and quickly made significant contributions. If you're interested but not sure you meet every qualification, we’d still encourage you to apply.
