The role

Are you passionate about safe and responsible AI? Do you want to be part of a pioneering team shaping how AI systems are evaluated, measured, and deployed safely? Do you want your work to have a real impact for Canada and Canadians? If so, we want to meet you!

We are seeking a mid‑career RCO‑04 to establish and lead the NRC’s AI Safety Lab, a new capability funded by the Canadian AI Safety Institute (CAISI) and dedicated to evaluating the safety of advanced AI systems. You will be part of a pioneering team conducting rigorous AI safety evaluations and translating technical results into actionable tools, guidance, and recommendations for AI practitioners and policymakers across government and beyond.

Under the guidance of the Principal Advisor for AI Safety, and as part of the Chief Digital Research Officer’s team, you will play a central role in building and operating a scalable AI safety evaluation infrastructure. In collaboration with leading experts from our Digital Technologies Research Centre, you will design, execute, and monitor advanced evaluations at scale on frontier AI models, and contribute to cutting‑edge AI safety research carried out by the NRC in collaboration with CAISI partners nationally and internationally.

Key Responsibilities include:

Establish and manage a multidisciplinary team of AI safety specialists forming the lab.
Build and leverage state-of-the-art model evaluation infrastructure and frameworks.
Work with AI safety researchers from the NRC and CAISI partners in designing, running and documenting AI safety evaluations.
Establish and steward standardized, reproducible safety evaluation protocols.
Develop and curate new AI safety benchmarks.
Translate technical findings into practical solutions and advice, such as new tools for evaluators/developers, or recommendations to policy makers.

The ideal candidate would have:

A track record of building and managing AI teams.
Hands-on experience evaluating frontier AI models using safety evaluation frameworks (e.g., Inspect, Moonshot).
A strong background in compute cluster operations and scalable ML infrastructure.
Experience designing reproducible evaluation protocols and benchmarks.
Experience translating research into practical tools, guidance, or policy recommendations.
The ability to collaborate across research, government, and international partners.
Strong analytical judgment and initiative.
Clear communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
