Safe Autonomous Systems roles

Senior Research Fellow

Are you an experienced researcher interested in achieving the safe and responsible uptake of AI and Autonomous Systems (AI/AS) in sectors including automotive, healthcare, maritime and rail? We're recruiting a senior researcher who can support our work in accelerating the adoption and advancement of these technologies. Building on our guidance on the Safety Assurance of Autonomous Systems in Complex Environments (SACE), you will conduct and co-lead research using a whole-systems approach to the design, analysis, and assurance of AI/AS from engineering and sociotechnical viewpoints. Understanding how safety cases, and their lifecycle, are developed and reviewed is a key focus in this role. 

Research Associate/Fellow

We are also recruiting for researchers to work across safe autonomous systems. In this role you will have the opportunity to accelerate adoption of these AI and Autonomous systems across our primary domains listed above, using our guidance (including SACE) to support your work.  This role will require you to conduct research using a whole-systems approach to the design, analysis and assurance of AI/AS from engineering and sociotechnical viewpoints.

These roles offers multiple opportunities for cross-collaboration and multi-disciplinary working, including engaging with industry and our partners as well as with PhD students from the UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe Artificial Intelligence Systems (SAINTS) through joint research projects, training activities and co-supervision.
