## About the Role

development, * A genuine track record in privacy-preserving ML, generative AI, LLMs, or federated learning, since this isn't a "learn on the job" role. * Strong Python engineering skills: ML frameworks, version control, CI/CD, reproducible experiments. * Comfort working across the full ML lifecycle, from first prototype to something that can actually be deployed. * Experience mentoring others and the communication skills to explain complex trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. Bonus points: differential privacy or secure computation experience, LLM/agentic AI/frontier AI evaluation work, published research, or experience in regulated industries (insurance, financial services, public sector). Why join us * Real technical ownership on a genuinely novel, high-profile programme, not a support role on someone else's research. * Direct exposure to Oxford's academic network and CODAS's international partners, not just your immediate team. * Work that
ships. This isn't research for its own sake; it becomes part of a live sovereign AI ecosystem built with Japanese public and private-sector partners. * This is a fixed-term contract tied to CODAS's current funding cycle, but there's a genuine intent to extend and move roles to permanent as a second funding round is confirmed. It isn't a contract designed to end

## Description

secure inference beyond what's already out there. Responsibilities * Own the technical direction of assigned CODAS research tracks, from framing the problem to validating the results. * Design and build ML approaches for privacy-preserving generative AI, including differential privacy, federated learning, secure inference, and related techniques. * Turn research into proof-of-concept systems and deployable components that feed directly into programme deliverables. * Publish, contributing to papers, technical reports, and conference talks that put Oxfida's work in front of the wider AI community. * Mentor other ML scientists and research associates working alongside you on the programme. * Work directly with partner organisations to understand real technical constraints, not just theoretical ones. Knowledge, Experience and Qualifications * A Master's or PhD in Computer Science, ML, Statistics, Maths, or equivalent experience, plus 5+ years in applied, ML/AI research or
