Research Fellow – LLM Agent Safety & Secure Authentication

About the role

We are seeking a Research Fellow to conduct research on LLM agent safety and secure authentication. The role involves developing runtime monitoring and behavioural evaluation techniques for LLM agents, and investigating secure and usable authentication for intelligent devices.

Key responsibilities

• Develop monitoring methods to detect malicious skill execution and unsafe or misaligned agent behaviour.
• Design experiments and prototypes to evaluate agent safety, task performance and monitoring overhead.
• Investigate biometric authentication for smartphones and wearable devices and evaluate security and usability.
• Analyse findings, prepare publications and project reports, and collaborate with the research team.

Required profile

• PhD in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Security, Electronic or Communication Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Research background in LLM agent safety, runtime monitoring, biometric authentication or intelligent‑device security.
• Familiarity with LLM agents and ability to implement prototypes and conduct rigorous experiments.
• Experience in biometric sensing or acoustic signal analysis would be an advantage.

Required skills

• LLM agents
• Biometric sensing
• Acoustic signal analysis
