Research Scientist, RSP Evaluations (Autonomy) (London)
Anthropic • london, england • Posted June 20, 2026
About the Role
We are looking for Research Engineers to build “gold standard” evaluations for catastrophic risks, in order to understand what AI Safety Level (ASL) to assign to models. Research leads on this team collaborate with engineers in one of our focus areas: CBRN, Cyber, Autonomy (this list may expand over time). This will have major implications for the way we train, deploy, and secure our models, as detailed in our Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP).
The policy defines a series of capability thresholds – AI Safety Levels (ASLs) – that represent increasing risks – crossing an ASL threshold would trigger a commitment to more stringent safety, security, and operational measures, intended to handle the increased level of risk.
Please note: We are currently only hiring for the Autonomous Replication and Adaption (Autonomy) threats workstream. We will also be prioritizing candidates who can start ASAP and can be based in either our San Francisco or London office.
