Here at Sheffield Hallam University we are recruiting for a Lecturer in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. At the intersection of computing, mathematics, data analytics, and AI, these disciplines are transforming industries and shaping the future. We are seeking an outstanding individual with the expertise to teach and apply core mathematical, statistical, and computational concepts, and to demonstrate their impact in developing scalable, data-driven, and AI-enabled solutions.
You will contribute to the delivery and development of our innovative undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, helping to equip the next generation of data scientists and AI practitioners.
We're really proud of our work environment; undergraduates, postgraduates, and research students work together, alongside academic and support staff. The way we teach here is non-traditional, you won't be handed a menu of content to serve up to the students. Instead, we follow an applied, project-based approach to learning.
You’ll spend most of your classroom time helping students work on their own projects, which are run in the same way as in the IT industry. You and your students will always be connected to what's going on in the real world.
Join our team and you'll gain access to extraordinary facilities and equipment, such as:
- The world's largest PlayStation development lab.
- Cyber security labs with the latest forensic equipment.
- Largest user of Microsoft Azure Lab services in the UK, bringing with it access to a wealth of cloud-based teaching resources.
You’ll also have some unique colleagues, in the shape of our humanoid robots Nao and Pepper and our pet robot dog MiRo.
We offer opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment. The University currently enrols eligible academic staff into the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS), a defined-benefit pension scheme.
The University may be able to sponsor the employment of international applicants in this role; this will depend on a number of factors specific to the individual applicant. You are advised to assess your eligibility against the criteria set out in the relevant guidelines before applying.
