Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence (2 roles)

Full time starting salary is normally in the range of £48,760 to £58,664 per annum

Location: Milton Keynes

We are inviting applications from passionate, motivated people to join the MK:U education team, working on our fast-growing Degree Apprenticeship courses in management, data, digital and engineering. All of our apprenticeships include sessions/modules on Artificial Intelligence, and we are in the process of developing a new Level 6 apprenticeship in Machine Learning Engineer.  

About the Role

This role is an opportunity to help us shape the future of education and fill the skills gap. The successful applicants will divide their time between developing and delivering modules on MK:U courses using our distinctive Problem-Based Learning approach (we’ll provide training for you), and designing the new apprenticeship.

You will have knowledge of a subject matter related to AI, Machine Learning and/or Data Science, most likely in two or more of the following subject areas:

• Artificial intelligence – both technical understanding and user application aspects
• Machine Learning
• Deep Learning and Neural Networks
• Big Data and Visualisation
• Cloud Computing, particularly in relation to AWS

About you

We are seeking people to join the team who are as passionate as we are about AI skills in the digital era and who believe, as we do, that we need a lot more people who can bring these skills to the workplace. As educators, our job is to make AI, and related topics, attractive and exciting to study as well as making sure it’s relevant and applicable to the jobs of today and of the future.

You will be excited about making education relevant to the digital economy and gripped by the challenge of making it understandable and fun to study. You will prize teamwork and value your colleagues’ skills and knowledge. You will be interested in how problem-based learning can be used to ensure that education is relevant to the workplace and open to the idea that we can blur the boundary between ‘work’ and ‘education’ because learning takes place in both contexts. You will be motivated by helping your students to succeed in their careers.

You will either have undergraduate or postgraduate education delivery experience in the above subjects. You will have an advanced degree in the broad subject area (Masters or above) and will either hold or be working towards a qualification in education (e.g. a Postgraduate certificate or AdvanceHE recognition). You will have evidence of educational innovation and, ideally, of course management, either as course lead or deputy.

To be successful in this role you will be comfortable with change, willing to work flexibly, and open to new ways of doing things. Importantly, you will be able to collaborate with and influence people and build relationships quickly, and you will be eager to play a full role in the fast-moving and exciting MK:U project.
