Job title: Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence Grade 8 (3 Posts) Job reference: 021691 £41,526 - £52,560 pa (or pro rata) Closing date: 12-Oct-2020 23:30 Hours of Work: Full Time (also can be Job Share, flexible / part time - minimum of 0.5FTE) Tenure: Permanent
We seek to appoint up to three highly motivated, research-focused individuals as Lecturers in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Department of Computer Science, University of Liverpool. The successful candidates will undertake research of international standard and contribute to teaching in the Department of Computing Science at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including the new MSc in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence programme supported by funding from the Office for Students. The appointments will be based on the proven research track record or potential of the candidates. We are particularly interested in fundamental research in any core area of AI that either strengthens our existing research or complements our expertise, interdisciplinary research and collaborations with other areas across and outside the University, and applications of AI and Machine learning leading to economic and social impact outside academia. Specific areas of expertise include but are not limited to: AI in Law; Computer Vision; Explainable AI; Natural Language Processing; Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning; Robotics; Safe, Trustworthy and Robust AI; and Theory of Machine Learning. Exceptional individuals with an excellent track record of research in areas of Computer Science related to AI will also be considered. We value the diversity of our department and welcome applications from all sectors of the community. We recognise that many individuals value flexibility in their work/life balance and we will consider applications to work on a part-time, flexible and job share basis wherever possible (a minimum of 0.5 FTE). We are working to improve the gender balance in the Department of Computer Science, and we particularly welcome applications from women. Please note that in terms of responsibilities and recognition, the position of a newly appointed lecturer in the UK is comparable to that of an assistant professor in the United States. This position is permanent (subject to passing the probation in year 3 of the appointment), with no end date on the contract. ************ Established in 1983, our department has grown into a vibrant environment, investigating key topics for developments in computer science and building a strong international reputation for research. Our key research expertise is in Algorithms and Networks, Economics and Computation, Artificial Intelligence, and Logical Methods in Computer Science. In the UK's 2014 independent Research Excellence Framework exercise, we have been rated 3rd on world-leading (4*) research activity and 10th overall. The Department has enjoyed sustained investment in teaching spaces and specialist facilities. The Department hosts two robotics research labs—the smARTLab and the Trustworthy Robotics Lab. Examples of our interdisciplinary engagement include collaborations with Healthcare, Physical Sciences, Engineering and Geography through the Geographic Data Science Lab, Network Sciences and Technologies Initiative, Leverhulme Centre for Functional Materials Design, Material Innovation Factory, Sensor City, Virtual Engineering Centre, Centre for Autonomous Systems, and the newly established £12.7million Digital Innovation Facility. ************ For full details and to apply online, please visit: http://recruit.liverpool.ac.uk/ Job reference 021691 More information about the Department of Computer Science at the University of Liverpool can be found on our webpages, https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/computer-science/. -- Prof. Boris Konev Head of Department of Computer Science University of Liverpool Liverpool, L69 3BX, UK Email: ko...@csc.liv.ac.uk<mailto:ko...@csc.liv.ac.uk> Tel: (+44) 151 795 4260 URL: http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~konev
