- Intersection of LLMs and bio AI models
- In-depth statistics and IRT of bio evaluations
What I'm looking for in a Mentee
We're looking for somebody with strong technical abilities who's able to prototype and iterate quickly, has some amount of experience in prioritizing research tasks, and communicates well. Context on biosecurity and the AIxBio intersection is a plus.
What I'm Like as a Mentor
The exact structure of mentorship at SecureBio can vary quite a bit depending on the project you'd be working on—from mostly independent, hands-off project with self-directed research to more involved contribution to an existing project with multiple contributors.
