JOB SUMMARY

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a non-profit, bipartisan public policy organization established in 1962 to provide strategic insights and practical policy solutions to decision makers concerned with global security and prosperity. Over the years, it has grown to be one of the largest organizations of its kind, with a staff of some 275 employees, including more than 120 analysts working to address the changing dynamics of international security across the globe.

The Wadhwani AI Center seeks a highly motivated Deputy Director and Labor Impacts Senior Fellow to play a key role in advancing the program’s research agenda on artificial intelligence (AI) governance, national security, and economic impacts.

Under the supervision of the Wadhwani Center Director, the Deputy Director and Labor Impacts Senior Fellow will help manage the day-to-day workflow of the program and play a key role in supporting the Director to advance all Center initiatives. The Deputy Director will actively contribute to major programmatic decisions, support strategic planning activities, manage research initiatives and projects on AI labor impacts, and help oversee research efforts on a broad range of other AI policy topics, including by authoring or co-authoring research reports, supervising research staff, engaging with media and policymakers, editing draft reports and articles, coordinating research activities, and delivering briefings and presentations to key stakeholders. The Deputy Director will also share, with the Director, a variety of daily managerial responsibilities for personnel management, budget oversight, fundraising, and grant and contract management. Preference will be given to candidates who have experience working on AI policy, governance, and economic impacts and have previous experience leading and fundraising for research projects.

The salary band for this position is $100,000-$200,000. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

The Wadhwani AI Center at CSIS conducts high-impact research on the policy implications of artificial intelligence, with a focus on national security, geopolitics, economic competitiveness, and global governance.

Our team frequently advises bipartisan U.S. government officials and civil servants, including via Congressional testimony, private briefings, and published reports. As part of our research, we regularly engage with leading AI companies and academic researchers.
