The Center for Safe and Secure AI Robotics (CESSAIR) and the Center for Cybersecurity Research and Innovation (CCRI) are looking to hire a post-doctoral associate to carry out joint research in resilience of neural networks, including large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI systems and foundation models for Robotics, against cyberattacks. The appointment is for one year, renewable for a second year, given the availability of funds. The focus is on developing credible data and analytic tools for measuring the resilience of generative AI and foundation models for robotics to cyberattacks. Developing tools and methods for actively probing for vulnerabilities is within the scope of the research. The outcome of this research will be validated on both publicly available pretrained models and training data sets and in-house, privately developed models and training data sets. Curating these private data sets and training the associated models is within the scope of this job. The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary research team of engineers, physicists, and other faculty at SUNY Polytechnic Institute. The position is based in Utica, NY. The successful candidate will have a doctoral degree in electrical engineering, computers science, physics, applied mathematics, or a closely related field. Required skills are proficiency in Python, deep learning frameworks such as Keras, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or other related software stacks, and a solid background in machine learning, cybersecurity, or AI robotics, and the ability or desire to design and implement experiments that probe model vulnerabilities. Experience with NLP/LLMs or generative AI, adversarial ML, software engineering practices (Git, reproducibility, experiment tracking), dataset curation, HPC/GPU programming, blockchain for secure data, C-family languages, and embodied AI/robotics are a plus. Experience with general network resilience, cellular automata, or blockchain for secure data is a plus. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary research team comprising mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and other faculty members at SUNY Polytechnic Institute. The position is based in Utica, NY.
