Job Description

Position Overview

We are seeking an outstanding PhD candidate to join our cutting-edge research laboratory specializing in the safety and security of large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI systems. This position provides a unique opportunity to conduct foundational and seminal research at the intersection of AI safety, secure system design, and ethical AI compliance. The role will focus on advancing methods to ensure the robustness, alignment, and responsible deployment of agentic and LLM-based AI technologies.

Research Areas

The successful candidate will contribute to research in one or more of the following areas:

  • LLM Safety, Security & Alignment

  • Robustness against adversarial prompts and jailbreak attacks
  • Scalable alignment techniques for dynamic value systems
  • Secure and interpretable control over LLM outputs
  • Detection and mitigation of training-time and inference-time threats
  • LLM vulnerability scanner and guardrails
  • Agentic AI Security & Autonomy

  • Secure coordination and communication among autonomous agents
  • Oversight, policy control, and safe memory in self-directed AI agents
  • Detection of emergent malicious behaviours and goal mis-generalization
  • Sandbox environments and auditing tools for agentic AI systems
  • Vulnerability scanners and guardrails for Agents
  • Ethical AI, Bias Mitigation & Compliance

  • Post-training debiasing and fairness audits across diverse populations
  • Privacy-preserving mechanisms and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR)
  • Ethical risk assessments and responsible deployment frameworks
  • Transparency, explainability, and human-in-the-loop governance
