Kristen Swanson has announced she will lead Education Labs at Anthropic, as the AI company recruits for two roles focused on AI fluency, learning research and product experiments linked to Claude. Swanson announced the move on LinkedIn, where she said the Education Labs team is exploring how people can learn AI “in ways that build fluency alongside agency.” The team is hiring an education researcher and a design engineer, with both roles listed in San Francisco and New York City. Anthropic says staff are currently expected to work from one of its offices at least 25 percent of the time. The annual salary range for each role is listed as $300,000 to $405,000. Anthropic describes Education Labs as a team studying how people learn and build capability with AI, with an emphasis on tools that make users more capable over time. The design engineer role sits between research, product building and interaction design. Anthropic says Education Labs is “skeptical of tutorials, onboarding flows, and engagement metrics,” and is instead interested in experiences that make users “progressively more capable, curious, and empowered over time.” The education researcher role is described as the team’s first dedicated education research post, and will design and run mixed-methods studies on how people develop real skill with AI, with success measured by capability growth rather than engagement.
