If that doesn't work for you, then try this:

$.get('/position/field_2354910', {}).get('value')

Since the Object.get() method allows you to provide a default if the field doesn't exist, this example returns an empty object, so calling the next get() on the empty object will also return null.

Hope this helps!

Your earlier suggestion has worked well though - thank you.
