- Establish robust escalation thresholds and protocols for handling nuclear security risks in research and operational scenarios.
- Contribute expert guidance on benchmarking nuclear and radiological risk assessments, ensuring effective nonproliferation safeguards.
- Review, refine, and validate technical guidelines for nuclear/radiological safety in support of advanced-model training.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary stakeholders to ensure safety standards protect national and global security interests while enabling legitimate scientific progress.
- Document best practices and decision rationales for information security and compliance in nuclear domains.
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of relevant experience in nuclear physics, radiological safety, nonproliferation, or nuclear safeguards (ideally 8–20 years for senior contributors).
- Advanced degree, professional certification, or equivalent operational experience in nuclear or radiological domains.
- Proven background with government agencies, national laboratories, regulatory bodies, or academic research in nuclear security or policy.
- Thorough understanding of nonproliferation frameworks, international safeguards, and weapons-relevant controls.
- High credibility and recognition in nuclear or radiological safety communities.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical topics for diverse audiences.
- Experience contributing to or overseeing security evaluations, compliance protocols, or risk assessments within sensitive technical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply to Micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. Micro1 accepts applicants from most countries worldwide, unlike DataAnnotation or Outlier, both of which cap access to a handful of English-speaking countries. Most roles still require strong written and spoken English.
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
What does task-based AI training work actually look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Healthcare work look like for a Nuclear & Radiological Security Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Healthcare, not generic labeling. As a Nuclear & Radiological Security Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Healthcare) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Healthcare background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 5 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
