LECTURER IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence beginning Spring 2027. The successful candidate will teach four AI-oriented sections or courses per semester during the academic year (Fall and Spring). Additionally, the candidate will serve as an academic mentor to undergraduate students, alongside other computer science faculty members. The primary focus of this position is high-quality, undergraduate-level instruction in Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, architectures, and practical tools, with a strong focus on service teaching for majors across the College of Science and beyond.

The successful candidate will contribute to a forward-looking, continuously updated computer science curriculum that empowers students across all disciplines to leverage state-of-the-art AI, including foundation models, generative AI, agentic coding workflows, prompt engineering, and automated reasoning tools to enhance and accelerate their domain-specific expertise. Responsibilities include developing and teaching introductory and advanced AI literacy and fluency courses, maintaining currency with rapidly evolving industry and research standards in AI, and mentoring undergraduate students. While involvement in research or departmental collaborations is welcome, this is a non-tenure-track, instructionally focused position with no research expectations.

Minimum Qualifications

Applicants must possess at least a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related field from an accredited institution. Applicants must demonstrate formal coursework or professional experience in machine learning and modern artificial intelligence techniques, architectures, and practical AI tools and frameworks.

Preferred Qualifications

Preference will be given to candidates who: demonstrate proficiency in modern AI tools and frameworks, such as Large Language Models (LLMs), foundation models, agentic coding environments, and prompt engineering; demonstrate experience integrating AI tools across multidisciplinary or scientific contexts; demonstrate excellence in undergraduate teaching and course development; demonstrate commitment to student success and mentoring at the undergraduate level.
