The Role We are seeking an AI Security Research Scientist to join The Alan Turing Institute s Defence & National Security team, helping to strengthen the robustness, reliability, and resilience of AI systems used in high stakes environments. This is an exciting opportunity for a mathematically strong researcher to apply advanced modelling, optimisation, statistical, numerical and experimental skills to cutting-edge AI security challenges, working closely with researchers, engineers and external partners to turn innovative ideas into practical capabilities. The role would suit someone with a PhD or equivalent experience in a highly quantitative field, strong programming skills and the ability to work from first principles, learn quickly and communicate complex research clearly. Prior experience in machine learning or AI security is welcome but not essential, and eligibility for Developed Vetting (DV) clearance is required. Your Profile We are looking for a highly analytical researcher with a strong grounding in applied mathematics or a similarly quantitative discipline, backed by a PhD or equivalent experience involving advanced algorithmic, statistical or numerical methods and computer programming. The ideal candidate will be fluent in one or more modern data science languages, able to communicate research clearly through technical outputs and confident working independently while collaborating effectively with others. They will be someone who learns quickly, thinks from first principles and is excited by the challenge of applying rigorous mathematical and experimental thinking to complex AI security problems. Experience in areas such as optimisation, robustness, verification, deep learning, cybersecurity or AI red teaming would be an advantage, but just as important is the ability to move comfortably between theory, modelling and experimentation, engage with technical and non-technical stakeholders and meet the eligibility requirements for Developed Vetting (DV) clearance. How You'll Make an Impact Adapt, assess, and extend existing research (from within the Institute and beyond) to understand how it behaves in realistic operational settings. Formulate research questions that make novel ideas testable, measurable, and actionable for partners. Design and run rigorous deep learning and AI security experiments - from robustness and adversarial evaluations to interpretability studies and stress-testing emerging methods. Generate insights: analyse results, identify failure modes, characterise risks, and evaluate whether a method is ready to progress toward real-world use. Prototype and iterate on new approaches, working closely with Research Engineers to ensure experiments are rigorous, reproducible, and well implemented. Translate findings into technical reports, presentations, demonstrations, and early-stage capabilities that inform partners operational decisions. Contribute to the wider research community, sharing knowledge internally, participating in discussions, and contributing where appropriate to publications and open-source outputs.

SaferAI is hiring a Standards Researcher to join its Standards team, working with James Gealy, our Standardization Lead. This position offers the opportunity to help write the technical documents that will govern how the world's most powerful AI systems are built, evaluated, and deployed - inside the rooms where those documents are being written. About SaferAI SaferAI works to reduce large-scale AI risks by building the governance and technical infrastructure for effective AI risk management. We work across four integrated areas: frontier AI risk management, risk modeling, technical standards, and policy. Our ability to operate across all four areas simultaneously is what makes our impact greater than the sum of its parts. Our standards work illustrates what that integration produces in practice. Members of SaferAI currently hold leadership positions in two of the most consequential AI standards processes running today: with EN 18228 (the European AI Risk Management standard at CEN-CENELEC) and with ISO/IEC TS 42119-8 (the global standard on LLM benchmarking and red teaming). We engage actively across EU, US, and international venues at technical drafting depth, not just as observers. SaferAI is one of the very few independent actors that has earned a seat at the table where the actual text gets written. This role is about building on that position. Responsibilities Drafting standards text: writing and revising precise technical language for documents under development at ISO/IEC, CEN-CENELEC, and NIST, including on AI risk management, LLM evaluation, and frontier AI safety and security. Committee participation: attending standards meetings (in person and remotely) to advocate for specific text and decisions under the consensus process, representing an independent and prudent perspective. Technical analysis: thinking rigorously about the downstream implications of standards language: what requirements actually require in practice, where ambiguity could result in inefficacy, and thus specificity is needed to prevent incomplete compliance. Stakeholder engagement: building and maintaining productive working relationships with national delegations, industry representatives, regulators, and fellow experts across nearly all countries and jurisdictions.

What we're looking for You care about the words. Standards are effective when they are specific and hard to game, and ineffective when they are vague enough to mean anything. You find it genuinely interesting to debate whether "shall" is stronger than "should," whether "adequate" is defensible or a loophole, and how a definition of "risk" changes what a company is actually required to do. You are tenacious and constructive.

You understand that a standard only becomes effective if it is well written but also adopted and adhered to, and you are able to assess when standards are the right tool and when they are not.

SaferAI is hiring a Standards Researcher to join its Standards team, working with James Gealy, our Standardization Lead. This position offers the opportunity to help write the technical documents that will govern how the world's most powerful AI systems are built, evaluated, and deployed - inside the rooms where those documents are being written. About SaferAI SaferAI works to reduce large-scale AI risks by building the governance and technical infrastructure for effective AI risk management. We work across four integrated areas: frontier AI risk management, risk modeling, technical standards, and policy. Our ability to operate across all four areas simultaneously is what makes our impact greater than the sum of its parts. Our standards work illustrates what that integration produces in practice. Members of SaferAI currently hold leadership positions in two of the most consequential AI standards processes running today: with EN 18228 (the European AI Risk Management standard at CEN-CENELEC) and with ISO/IEC TS 42119-8 (the global standard on LLM benchmarking and red teaming). We engage actively across EU, US, and international venues at technical drafting depth, not just as observers. SaferAI is one of the very few independent actors that has earned a seat at the table where the actual text gets written. This role is about building on that position. Responsibilities Drafting standards text: writing and revising precise technical language for documents under development at ISO/IEC, CEN-CENELEC, and NIST, including on AI risk management, LLM evaluation, and frontier AI safety and security. Committee participation: attending standards meetings (in person and remotely) to advocate for specific text and decisions under the consensus process, representing an independent and prudent perspective. Technical analysis: thinking rigorously about the downstream implications of standards language: what requirements actually require in practice, where ambiguity could result in inefficacy, and thus specificity is needed to prevent incomplete compliance. Stakeholder engagement: building and maintaining productive working relationships with national delegations, industry representatives, regulators, and fellow experts across nearly all countries and jurisdictions. Standards adjacent policy and advocacy work: contributing to cross cutting projects at the EU and international level, including work such as the G7 Hiroshima AI Process Reporting Framework, where standards expertise directly informs policy efforts.

CSA Centre roles are currently funded until 31 March 2027, in line with our current grant funding arrangements. This will be reviewed in late 2026, as future funding for the CSA Centre from 2027/28 onwards is confirmed. About us We are the Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA Centre). Our aim is to reduce the impact of child sexual abuse through improved prevention and better response. To tackle child sexual abuse we must better understand its causes, scope, scale and impact. Established since 2017, we are a multi-disciplinary team that is funded by the Home Office, hosted by Barnardo's and we work closely with key partners from academic institutions, local authorities, health, education, police and the voluntary sector. We're proudly independent and our team will challenge any barriers, assumptions, taboos and ways of working that prevent us from increasing our understanding and improving our approach to child sexual abuse. We bring about change by: Collating and analysing existing research, policy, practice and the real experiences of those affected, and filling the gaps we identify with new research, insights and analysis; Using that evidence and insight to challenge and improve existing policy and practice, develop new approaches and increase everyone's knowledge and confidence to more effectively tackle the issue. This role is home based with regular travel required, usually to London. Salary: The CSA Centre acknowledges that tackling child sexual abuse can feel challenging but is incredibly rewarding and positive when making a difference. Our open working environment ensures that there is support for all employees, across the team and with access to a therapist, if needed. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss any aspect of this further. We believe in creating equality of opportunity in the workplace and supporting people to manage their work-life balance; we are therefore are open to offering flexible working arrangements.

Pay & Reward Framework We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

We are now looking for a Data Analyst to join our national team - a varied role, working alongside our second Data Analyst and the Learning & Insights Lead. This role is key in championing our learning culture at SHiFT, supporting our Voice, Participation, and Belonging strategy, and ensuring that our systems and reporting effectively demonstrate the impact SHiFT is having - not only with children and families, but also at a wider systems change level. On a fixed-term basis, this role will support the Learning Team by freeing up capacity for strategic and evaluative work, while also offering the opportunity to contribute to an exciting phase of growth in SHiFT's data infrastructure and learning capabilities. This role is perfect for someone looking to take a step up and build on existing skills in impact assessment, process evaluation, and thematic analysis. The Data Analyst will play a key role in streamlining quantitative and qualitative data processes, supporting accurate and efficient data collection across Practices, and helping us maximise the insights generated from our new, customised Salesforce data system. You will work closely with our data experts in local Practices (Practice Coordinators) and the wider SHiFT team. Therefore, you must be a proactive team player who is brilliant at building relationships, sees the value in working collaboratively, and enjoys problem-solving with others. You have a sharp eye for detail, sweat the small stuff, have a 'can do' attitude, and are ambitious to grow and make a difference as part of a practice-led systems change organisation. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with ideas for ethical and innovative methods in data collection with children and families. The successful candidate will bring both expertise and creativity to help improve data capture, analysis, reporting processes, and insight generation. Your experience will include working with CRM system(s) and data reporting tools, and you will be adept at managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. If you enjoy making data fun and easy to understand, are comfortable working with stakeholders from non-research backgrounds, and get a kick out of improving processes - then get in touch. We aim to provide significant opportunities for personal growth, training, and career development, and are seeking someone with the ambition to play a crucial part in maintaining our data and evidence quality as we strive for systems change. EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY SHiFT is actively committed to the eradication of discrimination and disadvantage on the basis of race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy and maternity, age, marital status and on the basis of socio-economic circumstances. We are determined for SHiFT to be a diverse and inclusive organisation that is enriched by a wide range of backgrounds, expertise, and experiences. We want to build a workplace that celebrates diversity and where everyone can feel valued, included, and involved. As a charity working within youth justice, we are keenly aware of the over-representation of children who identify as Black, Brown and Mixed Heritage or from Gypsy, Roma or Traveller Communities within the youth justice system. Challenging racism is a key priority for SHiFT. In seeking to achieve this, we understand the value and importance of recruiting and retaining a workforce which represents the children we seek to support. We therefore particularly encourage and welcome applications from people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, and we recognise that this group is currently under-represented within our national team. THE RESPONSIBILITES SHiFT's Data Analyst has responsibility for: Data Collection and Management: Support the effective use of SHiFT's Salesforce system, ensuring accurate, timely data entry and maintenance across local Practices. Work closely and creatively with members of our local Practice Teams (Practice Coordinators and Guides) to support the use of data for practice improvement and monitoring impact. Coordinate and quality-assure monthly data submissions, working closely with Practice teams to ensure consistency and completeness. Help to develop reporting tools, dashboards, or templates on and off Salesforce to support embedding learning back into practice and more widely to contribute to our ambitions for systems change. Help elevate the voices of children and families through innovative data collection processes (including arts-based and participatory methods). System Improvement and Efficiency: Identify and implement opportunities to streamline data processes. Contribute to the continuous improvement of SHiFT's Salesforce configuration, in collaboration with external developers and internal users. Help document processes and support training materials for system users. Navigate and innovate with different systems, including understanding the data recording systems used by Local Authorities and working with the Learning and Practice team to reduce duplication of data entry for practitioners. Learning and Insight Generation: Produce routine reports and data summaries for internal use, feeding into learning and influencing conversations. Support the Learning Team's efforts to use data for reflection, learning, and improvement both locally and nationally. Contribute to longer-term work exploring integration of data across education, youth justice, social care, and health systems. Building and holding relationships with external researchers aligned with SHiFT's mission to improve our data and insight capabilities. YOU WILL BRING Beliefs and alignment: The belief that all people are capable of change and that a relationship with a skilled practitioner can be a powerful driver of this. The belief that young people who display behaviours linked to offending can be supported so that they cease offending and meaningfully contribute to society. An alignment to a culture of high trust and high expectation where there are fewer rules, high levels of accountability, and a need for excellent performance from the entire team. An alignment to SHiFT's Values - ambition, courage, flexibility, and tenacity - which reflect the 'Breaking Cycles' ingredients (the foundations on which SHiFT is built). A preparedness to challenge the status quo and be positively disruptive in the pursuit of higher standards even when this is uncomfortable.
