As our first dedicated education researcher, you will strengthen how the team measures learning and AI fluency so our experiments produce trustworthy evidence. ## Responsibilities - Design and run mixed-methods studies on how people develop real skill with AI, measuring success by capability growth rather than engagement. - Build and validate the instruments, measures, and evaluation methods the team relies on, so that findings hold up to scrutiny and can be trusted by research, product and policy partners. - Translate research insights into shipped product, curriculum, and model-level improvements through close collaboration with engineers, designers, and researchers. - Generate net-new insights about how AI is reshaping learning, and how communities and organizations can organize to learn alongside it. - Communicate your work through clear writing, prototypes, and presentations that shape thinking across the organization. - Create tools using code and software to collect validated metrics at scale. ## Requirements - A research background in learning sciences, education, cognitive science, HCI, educational psychology, or a closely related field, whether formal or self-directed. - Strong mixed-methods skills: experimental design, measurement and psychometrics, qualitative methods, and the judgment to choose the right approach for the question. - Hands-on technical skill in Python, data analysis, and working with LLMs, enough to run your own analyses and prototype new measures. - Comfort deriving insight from imperfect, dynamically changing data, and comfort making research decisions with incomplete information while holding a high bar. - Comfort with ambiguity and undefined problem spaces, plus a bias toward rapid, iterative inquiry and quick learning loops. - Clear communication and a track record of cross-functional collaboration with product, design, engineering, and research partners. - Genuine curiosity about how AI is changing how people learn, work, and build capability, and a strong perspective on technology enhancing human capability rather than diminishing it. ## Nice to Have - Experience measuring capability or skill development in production, including experimentation frameworks and A/B testing. - Experience building simple tools or interfaces that let non-technical collaborators evaluate or learn from AI systems. - Published writing, talks, or open work on skill development, human-AI interaction, or the learning sciences. - Experience in learning platforms, developer tools, creative tools, or other products where mastery matters more than engagement. - A point of view on how human relatedness and social connection shape learning, and why they matter as people learn alongside AI. - Previous experience in research labs, frontier tech companies, or startups with high autonomy and ambiguity. ## Logistics - Annual Salary: $300,000-$405,000 USD - Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience - Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience - Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position - Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. - Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! ## Skills ### Required - Python - data analysis - LLMs - experimental design - measurement and psychometrics - qualitative methods ### Nice to have - experimentation frameworks - A/B testing - skill development - human-AI interaction - learning sciences --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/5286441008?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
