Cell and gene therapy is the treatment of disease by the delivery of therapeutic genetic material (DNA or RNA), into a patient's cells. One highly effective approach to delivering genetic information is to re-engineer existing viruses to be safe delivery vehicles (vectors) to insert the genetic material into patients' cells. This can be achieved either by directly administering the vector to the patient (often referred to as in vivo gene therapy), or by first introducing the genetic material to cells or tissue outside of the body, before administering the cells or tissue into the patient (often referred to as ex vivo gene therapy or gene-modified cell therapy). . click apply for full job details

Cell and gene therapy is the treatment of disease by the delivery of therapeutic genetic material (DNA or RNA), into a patient's cells. One highly effective approach to delivering genetic information is to re-engineer existing viruses to be safe delivery vehicles (vectors) to insert the genetic material into patients' cells. This can be achieved either by directly administering the vector to the patient (often referred to as in vivo gene therapy), or by first introducing the genetic material to cells or tissue outside of the body, before administering the cells or tissue into the patient (often referred to as ex vivo gene therapy or gene-modified cell therapy). . click apply for full job details

About the Team The Post-Training Team is dedicated to optimising AI systems to achieve state-of-the-art performance across the various risk domains that AISI focuses on. This is accomplished through a combination of scaffolding, prompting, supervised and RL fine-tuning of the AI models which AISI has access to. One of the main focuses of our evaluation teams is estimating how new models might affect the capabilities of AI systems in specific domains. To improve confidence in our assessments, we make significant effort to enhance the model's performance in the domains of interest. For many of our evaluations, this means taking a model we have been given access to and embedding it as part of a wider AI system-for example, in our cybersecurity evaluations, we provide models with access to tools for interacting with the underlying operating system and repeatedly call models to act in such environment. In our evaluations which do not require agentic capabilities, we may use elicitation techniques like fine-tuning and prompt engineering to ensure assessing the model at its full capacity. About the Role As a member of this team, you will use cutting-edge machine learning techniques to improve model performance in our domains of interest. The work is split into two sub-teams: Agents and Finetuning. Our Agents sub-team focuses on developing the LLM tools and scaffolding to create highly capable LLM-based agents, while our Finetuning Team builds out finetuning pipelines to improve models on our domains of interest. The Post-Training Team is seeking strong Research Scientists to join the team. The priorities of the team include both research-oriented tasks-such as designing new techniques for scaling inference-time computation or developing methodologies for in-depth analysis of agent behaviour-and engineering-oriented tasks-like implementing new tools for our LLM agents or creating pipelines for supporting and fine-tuning large open-source models. We recognise that some technical staff may prefer to span or alternate between engineering and research responsibilities, and this versatility is something we actively look for in our hires. You'll receive mentorship and coaching from your manager and the technical leads on your team, and regularly interact with world-class researchers and other exceptional staff, including alumni from Anthropic, DeepMind and OpenAI. In addition to junior roles, we offer Senior, Staff, and Principal Research Engineer positions for candidates with the requisite seniority and experience. Person Specification You may be a good fit if you have some of the following skills, experience and attitudes: Experience conducting empirical machine learning research (e.g. PhD in a technical field and/or papers at top ML conferences), particularly on LLMs. Experience with machine learning engineering, or extensive experience as a software engineer with a strong demonstration of relevant skills/knowledge in the machine learning. An ability to work autonomously and in a self-directed way with high agency, thriving in a constantly changing environment and a steadily growing team, while figuring out the best and most efficient ways to solve a particular problem. Particularly strong candidates also have the following experience: Building LLM agents in industry or open-source collectives, particularly in areas adjacent to the main interests of one of our workstreams e.g. in-IDE coding assistants, research assistants etc. (for our Agents subteam) Leading research on improving and measuring the capabilities of LLM agents (for our Agents sub-team) Building pipelines for fine-tuning (or pretraining LLMs). Finetuning with RL techniques is particularly relevant (for our finetuning subteam). Finetuning or pretraining LLMs in a research context, particularly to achieve increased performance in specific domains (for our finetuning subteam). Salary & Benefits We are hiring individuals at all ranges of seniority and experience within the research unit, and this advert allows you to apply for any of the roles within this range. We will discuss and calibrate with you as part of the process. The full range of salaries available is as follows: L3: £65,000 - £75,000 L4: £85,000 - £95,000 L5: £105,000 - £115,000 L6: £125,000 - £135,000 L7: £145,000 There are a range of pension options available which can be found through the Civil Service website.

About the Team As AI systems become more advanced, the potential for misuse of their cyber capabilities may pose a threat to the security of organisations and individuals. Cyber capabilities also form common bottlenecks in scenarios across other AI risk areas such as harmful outcomes from biological and chemical capabilities and from autonomous systems. One approach to better understanding these risks is by conducting robust empirical tests of AI systems so we can better understand how capable they currently are when it comes to performing cyber security tasks. The AI Safety Institute's Cyber Evaluations Team is developing first-of-its-kind government-run infrastructure to benchmark the progress of advanced AI capabilities in the domain of cyber security. Our goal is to carry out and publish scientific research supporting a global effort to understand the risks and improve the safety of advanced AI systems. Our current focus is on doing this by building difficult cyber tasks that we can measure the performance of AI agents against. We are building a cross-functional team of cybersecurity researchers, machine learning researchers, research engineers and infrastructure engineers to help us create new kinds of capability and safety evaluations, and to scale up our capacity to evaluate frontier AI systems as they are released. The AI Safety Institute research unit is looking for exceptionally motivated and talented Research Engineers, to work with a range of Cyber Security and policy specialists to measure the capabilities of AI systems against scenarios covered by our risk models - with a focus on measuring their performance on tasks related to cyber security. You will play a key role in designing and running experiments on frontier models. This could include designing experiments ranging from measuring the uplift that AI systems might provide to malicious attackers, to conducting research to develop mitigations to prevent misuse of AI systems or better defend against AI enabled cyber attacks. In this role, you'll receive mentorship and coaching from your manager and the technical leads on your team. You'll also regularly interact with world-famous researchers and other incredible staff (including alumni from Anthropic, DeepMind, OpenAI and ML professors from Oxford and Cambridge). In addition to Junior roles, Senior, Staff and Principal RS positions are available for candidates with the required seniority and experience. Person Specification You may be a good fit if you have some of the following skills, experience and attitudes: Relevant experience in industry, relevant open-source collectives, or academia in a field related to machine learning, AI, AI security, or computer security. Experience in building software systems to meet research requirements and have led or been a significant contributor to relevant software projects, demonstrating cross-functional collaboration skills. Knowledge of training, fine-tuning, scaffolding, prompting, deploying, and/or evaluating current cutting-edge machine learning systems such as large language models. Knowledge of statistics. A strong curiosity in understanding AI systems and studying the security implications of this technology. Motivated to conduct research that is not only curiosity driven but also solves concrete open questions in governance and policy making. Ability to work autonomously and in a self-directed way with high agency, thriving in a constantly changing environment and a steadily growing team, while figuring out the best and most efficient ways to solve a particular problem. Bring your own voice and experience but also an eagerness to support your colleagues together with a willingness to do whatever is necessary for the team's success and find new ways of getting things done within government. Have a sense of mission, urgency, and responsibility for success, demonstrating problem-solving abilities and preparedness to acquire any missing knowledge necessary to get the job done. Comprehensive understanding of large language models (e.g. GPT-4). This includes both a broad understanding of the literature, as well as hands-on experience with things like pre-training or fine tuning LLMs. The following are also nice-to-have: Relevant Cyber Security Expertise. Extensive Python experience, including understanding the intricacies of the language, the good vs. bad Pythonic ways of doing things and much of the wider ecosystem/tooling. Direct research experience (e.g. PhD in a technical field and/or spotlight papers at NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR). Experience working with world-class multi-disciplinary teams, including both scientists and engineers (e.g. in a top-3 lab). Acting as a bar raiser for interviews. Salary & Benefits We are hiring individuals at all ranges of seniority and experience within the research unit, and this advert allows you to apply for any of the roles within this range.
