AI For Cyber Security Engineer

£28,451 - £28,451
 

Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity to join CyberASAP Innovate UK project aiming to address Risk Assessment in Transactions under Security Threat.



The financial losses in UK online banking due to fraud annually amount to almost 2 billion pounds. With the losses in online trading due to fake accounts, stolen credentials and information leaks the figure becomes truly astronomical. The design of security solutions requires complex expertise - understanding of the processes within transactional systems under threat, knowledge of potential adversaries and their malicious behaviour, justified choice of suitable tools for detection, neutralization and prevention, and their proper configuration. The need for software for modelling the security infrastructure, estimating the security risks and analyzing the impact of the solutions on security is extremely high due to the complexity of the task and the impossibility of demonstrating the solutions experimentally. this role is for the development of a desktop software application that:




  • Model transactions under security threats.

  • Design of security architecture and behaviour analysis through simulated transactions

  • Calculate the security risks based on parameters of security analytics.

  • Determination of the impact of security infrastructure on risks     



 



The ideal candidate for this position is a current/graduated AI/Software Engineering PG student who will assist in the market research, analysis and implementation of software (Reinforcement Learning and Visualization algorithms for solving risk assessment tasks under security threats). strong AI and programming skills are required.



A mixed background that combines knowledge from various areas, such as AI, Machine Learning (ML), data science, and software engineering, as well as a deep understanding of the cyber security domain, is highly advantageous.



 



Qualifications

Current (near completion) or Awarded MSc in AI or Cyber Security

Job Summary: 
We're on the lookout for a detail-driven Auxiliary Technician to join the CDN Fly Facility in a pioneering sustainability initiative. This role is at the heart of transforming how we work?by helping us move away from single-use plastic fly vials toward a reusable, zero-waste model

Currently, fly vials?used to house and feed research flies?are disposed of after just one use, entering the clinical waste stream and ending up in high-temperature incineration. This not only carries a hefty cost but also significantly contributes to our carbon footprint. 

By transitioning to reusable vials, you'll be part of a groundbreaking effort to slash single-use plastic in our labs, cut down on Scope 3 emissions, and move the Department?and King?s College London?closer to its Net Zero goal. If you're passionate about sustainability and keen to make a tangible impact in research operations, we?d love to hear from you. 

The project will be based in New Hunts House CDN, working with the labs that use the facility and the  technical manager and fly technician to determine a cleaning protocol for fly vials, test the validity of the protocol through microbiology techniques, and determine the effect, if any, of the change on the fruit flies. The student would work with wild type fruit flies to determine their reaction to reused vials that had previously been used for chemical or drug work, and in doing so will learn basic fly maintenance techniques.   

Once the project is complete, the student will have created a protocol for cleaning the glass fly vials, considered the cost of moving to reusable vials, calculated the labour requirements and equipment purchases needed to make this a viable long-term solution, assess current fly protocols and suggest areas where further changes can be made. The assessment will be presented to Technical Managers and PI?s using the facility.   

Shape 

Responsibilities: 

Facility & Equipment Maintenance: 

Read all relevant literature to the project.

Develop a protocol for cleaning and reusing glass vials. 

Develop a protocol in the case of glass smashing/fly escape.

Validate different decontamination methods (freezing vs autoclaving) and the energy associated with each one. 

Identify equipment which needs to be purchased for the pilot and future transition. 

Collect data on the baseline and after the pilot on the amount of waste saved, energy used and loss of glass vials or H&S issues. 

Collate and present data on the glass pilot project. 

Collect, clean, scrub, and wash Drosophila glass and plastic vials. 

Operate laboratory equipment, including mixing vessels, autoclaves, dishwashers, and other relevant tools. 

Organize and restock vials in trays for reuse.

We?re looking for a meticulous and motivated Research Assistant to spearhead a collaborative project between King?s Sustainable Research Team (SRT) and Prof. Corinne Houart?s lab, focused on reducing wastewater in the zebrafish facility. 

Zebrafish facilities, while essential to groundbreaking research, generate significant wastewater due to the need for constant water replacement, which prevents harmful nitrile build-up. This project aims to find innovative, eco-friendly solutions to reduce that waste and rethink water management in aquatic research systems. 

As researchers, we have a responsibility to protect our planet while pushing the boundaries of science. Join us in making meaningful change?both in the lab and for the environment. 

This role involves developing and designing a pilot project with the fish facility (Hodgkin building), E&F, H&S and SRT to redirect wastewater from the zebrafish tanks to an aquaponics system where nitrogen-fixing plants remove the nitrate contamination and allow the water to be recycled. 

 

Responsibilities: 

Research relevant literature.

Collect baseline data for wastewater in zebrafish facility. 

Liaise with stakeholders in using the facility, estates & facilities, the Hodgkin fly facility and the SRT. 

Research small aquaponic systems appropriate for a pilot project. 

Research plants or other systems which may be appropriate for removing nitrites from the water. 

Identify appropriate space in the zebrafish facility where the aquaponic system can be trialled.  

Collect data during and after the project to understand waste savings.

Present data and costings associated with the pilot and a large scale project in the future. 



Qualifications

An undergraduate degree in a wet laboratory-based science.



Skills

Skills & Qualifications: 

Knowledge   

Essential: wet laboratory skills including understanding of zebrafish facilities. 

Desirable: Knowledge of aquaponics, hydroponics and nitrogen-fixing plants.  

Desirable: Knowledge of waste water systems.   

Experience   

Essential: experience of working in a zebrafish facility. 

Essential: experience of collecting and analysing data. 

Desirable: experience using aquaponics/hydroponics. 

Skills   

Essential: able to use their initiative and work independently.  

Other Attributes 

Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
