Workstream Lead, Agentic AI Risk Modelling and Mitigations
What the posting says
<div class="content-intro"><h2>About the AI Security Institute</h2> <p>The AI Security Institute is the world's largest and best-funded team dedicated to understanding advanced AI risks and translating that knowledge into action. We’re in the heart of the UK government with direct lines to No. 10 (the Prime Minister's office), and we work with frontier developers and governments globally.</p> <p>We’re here because governments are critical for advanced AI going well, and UK AISI is uniquely positioned to mobilise them. With our resources, unique agility and international influence, this is the best place to shape both AI development and government action.</p></div><div class="vac_display_field"> <div class="vac_display_field_value"> <div class="vac_display_field"> <div class="vac_display_field_value"> <div class="vac_display_field"> <div class="vac_display_field_value"> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The deadline for applying to this role is Tuesday 13th October 2026, end of day, anywhere on Earth.</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Job summary</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Within AISI’s Research Unit, the Agentic AI Risk Modelling and Mitigations team studies how advanced AI systems could become difficult to oversee, correct or shut down as they take on longer and more autonomous tasks. The team builds scenario-based risk models that extend published work on AI timelines and systemic risk and uses them to identify practical mitigations such as monitoring infrastructure, deployment guidance and containment protocols. Its analysis has been shared across government and is intended to inform real decisions by the organisations best placed to act.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">We are looking for a Workstream Lead to lead and line-manage this team through its next phase.

The Cabinet Office receives the details from participating government organisations of civil servants who have been dismissed, or who would have been dismissed had they not resigned, for internal fraud. In instances such as this, civil servants are then banned for 5 years from further employment in the civil service. The Cabinet Office then processes this data and discloses a limited dataset back to DLUHC as a participating government organisations. DLUHC then carry out the pre employment checks so as to detect instances where known fraudsters are attempting to reapply for roles in the civil service.
