   About National Fair Housing Alliance&nbsp;
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) leads the fair housing movement and is the nation's only national organization exclusively dedicated to&nbsp;eliminating&nbsp;all forms of housing discrimination and ensuring&nbsp;equitable&nbsp;housing opportunities for all people and communities. We have a diverse, experienced, mission-driven, and impactful team that has developed equity-based policies at the federal, state, and local levels to expand fair housing opportunities; brought precedent-setting litigation to eliminate some of the most heinous forms of housing discrimination; conducted groundbreaking research to promote equitable solutions; and invested millions of dollars in underserved communities. We have solid relationships, built on trust, with national, regional, and local organizations, and we effectively draw upon these connections to reach vital goals. We are game changers that millions of people rely upon to advance fair housing.&nbsp;
 </p>
 <p>
  Where you live matters. It affects every aspect of your life and&nbsp;determines&nbsp;whether you have access to the options and opportunities we all need to thrive. Yet despite important existing federal laws, more than 4 million acts of housing discrimination occur in the U.S. each year, and housing inequality&nbsp;remains&nbsp;stubbornly entrenched. That is why&mdash;through its education and outreach, member services, public policy, advocacy, housing and community development, responsible AI, enforcement, and consulting and compliance programs&mdash;NFHA is dismantling longstanding barriers to equity, rooting out bias, and building diverse, inclusive, well-resourced communities.

  <strong>
   Position Summary
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  The AI Alignment Fellow will advance original mathematical and computational research at the intersection of algorithmic fairness, civil rights law, and AI governance. This fellowship directly addresses a foundational challenge in responsible machine learning: the structural tension between individual fairness and group fairness in automated decision-making systems. Situated within the Responsible AI Lab&nbsp;of the National Fair Housing Alliance, the Fellow will contribute to&nbsp;investigating&nbsp;a unified theoretical framework &mdash; grounded in Lipschitz continuity&nbsp;constraints and&nbsp;distributional parity conditions &mdash; capable of characterizing when individualized least discriminatory alternatives (iLDA) imply or are implied by group-level fairness guarantees, and deriving tight bounds on the mappings between these two regimes.&nbsp;
 </p>
 <p>
  The Fellow will&nbsp;leverage&nbsp;large language models and AI-assisted research tools to accelerate formal mathematical inquiry, conduct comparative legal and policy analysis, and translate technical findings into accessible policy recommendations for civil rights practitioners, regulators, and technology developers. This is an intellectually ambitious role for a researcher who combines rigorous quantitative training with a commitment to computational justice. The Fellow will work in close collaboration with&nbsp;other teams, including&nbsp;Legal&nbsp;and Public Policy teams, and will be expected to contribute to peer-reviewed scholarship, public-facing technical reports, and stakeholder engagement activities that advance NFHA&rsquo;s mission of&nbsp;eliminating&nbsp;housing discrimination through responsible AI oversight.&nbsp;
 </p>
 <p>
  This fellowship position will report to the Chief AI Officer at NFHA, working full-time for a period of eight (8) weeks and expected to work in our DC Office on Pennsylvania Avenue on Mondays and Thursdays and may work remotely the remaining days of each week.

  <li>
   <p>
    Engage with peer researchers, policy advocates, and regulatory bodies to&nbsp;represent&nbsp;the Responsible AI Lab&rsquo;s research agenda, including participation in working groups, expert panels, and interagency consultations on AI accountability standards.&nbsp;

  &nbsp;&nbsp;
 </p>
 <ul>
  <li>
   <p>
    Employ AI-assisted research environments &mdash; including large language models, automated proof assistants, and symbolic computation tools &mdash; to investigate the conditions under which the set of individually fair mechanisms is a subset of, equivalent to, or disjoint from the set of group-fair mechanisms, and to derive or verify formal proofs of these inclusion relationships.&nbsp;
   </p>
  </li>
  <li>
   <p>
    Develop and analyze tight functional bounds for the mappings that translate between individual fairness Lipschitz parameters and group fairness tolerance parameters across a range of metric space geometries, distributional assumptions, and subgroup family structures.&nbsp;
   </p>
  </li>
  <li>
   <p>
    Investigate extensions of the core research problem to multi-attribute protected classes, intersectional subgroup families, and randomized mechanism settings, using AI tools to explore the combinatorial complexity of these configurations and&nbsp;identify&nbsp;tractable boundary conditions.&nbsp;
