[DMANET] Three Tenured Faculty Position at the University of Liverpool: Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence

Job title: Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence Grade 8 (3 Posts)
Job reference: 021691
£41,526 - £52,560 pa (or pro rata)
Closing date: 2-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.
