Radiation Safety Officer - Remote AI Red Team

What You'll Do9

• Write single-turn prompts in radiation safety that cover benign, dual-use, and adversarial cases.
• Label each prompt by risk level and explain the technical boundary it tests.
• Review model responses against a written policy standard and decide if the reply meets that standard.
• Draft the reference answer for every prompt, with reasoning a non-specialist can follow.
• Separate routine professional questions from requests that seek harmful operational detail.
• Use licence-level knowledge of acquisition, source inventory, transfer, and disposal to shape test cases.
• Flag over-refusals and under-refusals so the evaluation covers both sides.
• Provide written rationale for each judgment, because the work demands sustained writing.
• Pause or step away from misuse scenarios when needed, without penalty.

Requirements10

• Named Radiation Safety Officer or person of record on a broad-scope licence.
• Hands-on work with source inventory, acquisition, transfer, disposal, and regulatory compliance.
• Experience at a university, hospital, research institute, industrial site, or irradiator facility.
• Familiarity with mixed radionuclide programs and sealed sources, including Category 1 and 2 sources.
• Knowledge of NRC, Agreement State, or national regulator submissions, amendments, and inspections.
• Background in radiography, gauging, sterilisation, ALARA programs, audits, training, or incident reporting.
• Ability to tell a routine professional question from one that probes for misuse.
• Strong technical writing, published research, or expert witness experience. Include a sample or link.
• Red-teaming experience is a plus, not a hard requirement.
• No use of classified or export-controlled information, NDA material, or prepublication review content. Disclose any such obligations in the application.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate has held the licence as the person of record, managed a broad-scope source program, and written technical justifications that outsiders can follow. That person knows the dual-use line from practice: the same calculation that protects a worker can conceal a source, and the same isotope can treat cancer or support industrial radiography. Prior red-teaming, expert witness work, or published research helps your application stand out. The role fits less well for generalists who have worked near radiation safety but never owned compliance decisions, or for anyone who cannot write a clear rationale for each judgment. Applications lose points when they skip a writing sample, do not name the licence type, or omit NDA, export-control, or prepublication obligations.
