About the role

RAND Corporation in San Francisco / Santa Monica is seeking a Visiting AI Security Resident to lead multi‑disciplinary research on securing AI systems and related policy implications. You will guide projects across technical research, policy analysis and software tooling for AI cyber capability evaluations. The role emphasizes threat modeling, governance, and collaboration with senior stakeholders, with a three‑year term and hybrid work options in multiple U.S. locations.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
