Join our Department of Computer Science
Loughborough University’s Department of Computer Science is one of the most well-established university Computer Science departments in the UK and now has exciting ambitions to set up a new Centre for AI and Digital.
Building on our existing research expertise and track record for industry engagement, this new centre aims to meet the growing demand for the research around artificial intelligence and the subsequent supply of skills to the job market.
This centre will sit alongside Loughborough’s new £6m DigiLab teaching facilities and a dedicated cybersecurity lab. These will support our existing Master’s degrees and two new Master's degrees in Cyber Resilience and Computer Science conversion, both starting in 2025.
We would like to attract leaders and teams to develop this new Centre for AI and Digital over the next few years, with the aim of making it a major hub in the Midlands.
