Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

The Oxford Applied and Theoretical Machine Learning group at the Department of Computer Science has a new opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Foundational AI safety, working together with Professor Yarin Gal. Conducting original research, you will develop fundamental methodologies and tools in the context of real-world AI safety problems.

As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will lead and contribute to projects aimed at developing principled and practical safe AI methods which could be used in real systems. This research requires coping with challenges such as intractable probabilistic inference and robustness. The project will involve both theoretical work as well as empirical analysis on challenging tasks.

The essential selection criteria are holding a PhD/DPhil in Computer Science or related discipline, together with demonstrated experience in Foundation Models (generative AI), as well as Bayesian machine learning, ML security, or general deep learning, a documented track record of the ability to conduct and complete research projects, as witnessed by published work in machine learning on the specific topics, and strong mathematical skills in probability and statistics. Good knowledge of current state-of-the-art in safe AI and frontier AI systems, as well as experience supporting junior researchers and managing projects is desired.
