This post represents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to join a team of excellent academics in Keele University’s Faculty of Natural Sciences. The Faculty is responsible for research and teaching in many areas of computer science, mathematics, and the physical and biological sciences.
Applications are welcome from enthusiastic individuals committed to high quality teaching and research in any relevant field of Computer Science but in particular areas that complement data science such as data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, visualisation, and statistics, and who have interests that complement our existing research strengths while broadening the scope of our teaching expertise.
The lectureship post is part of continued growth and expansion of Computer Science at Keele, which presents many new opportunities for the development of synergies in both teaching and research. The successful candidate will be expected to lead the delivery of a new MSc programme in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (funded by the Office for Students) and develop an active research programme that both complements and extends our existing research profile in Computer Science. Candidates are also expected to develop research collaborations with colleagues at Keele and elsewhere in strategic research areas of the University, such as smart energy, big data, global health or social inclusion. Details of the research carried out in Computer Science at Keele can be found https://www.keele.ac.uk/scm/research/computerscienceresearch/.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in an appropriate area of Computer Science (or be very close to completion of his/her PhD) and will have a strong commitment to delivering high quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, including supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate research projects and the development and delivery of new modules and programmes. The post-holder will have the skills, enthusiasm and flexibility for teaching across a wide range of computer science topics and will also contribute to recruitment activities and administrative duties within our Computer Science programmes.
