Offer Description
The School of Artificial Intelligence is looking for a Lecturer in Cognitive Science and AI. We are seeking a candidate who wants to pursue a career in academic teaching. Are you excited by teaching and student supervision? Do you want to inspire students to think critically about cognitive science and AI? Are you an interdisciplinary and collaborative academic at heart? Are you committed to diversity, equity and inclusion? Do you have strong organisational skills? If so, this position may be for you!
The responsibilities of this lecturing position are threefold: 60% teaching, 20% organisation, and 20% research professionalisation.
60% of the position is to be spent on teaching and student supervision. Our AI curriculum is being revised, and you will be involved in developing, designing and teaching new courses in the Cognition, Society and/or Computation theme of the Bachelor’s programme in AI. This will include developing a new course in Cognitive Science and, depending on your profile, a course such as Critical AI or Language and Communication. Depending on your skills and interests, you may make contributions to existing courses, for instance, Bias in AI, AI as a Science, or Theoretical Modelling for Cognitive Science.
20% of the position is reserved for organisational contributions. This may include, for instance, coordination tasks (coordinating and planning departmental meetings), contributing to committees (e.g. a diversity, equite and inclusion committee or degree programme committee), co-organising seminars (e.g. department seminars, or DEI events), co-designing and co-organising group activities (e.g. retreats, training days). These overarching activities will support your career development.
20% of the position is reserved for academic professionalisation through research-related activities (such as reading literature, attending seminars, workshops, conferences, or participating in collaborative research projects). You will be expected to stay up to date on developments in the areas about which you teach.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
- You hold a doctoral degree, preferably in Cognitive Science, or an equivalent degree, with an interest in critical reflection on the foundations of Cognitive Science as a multidiscplinary field and the interaction between Cognitive Science and AI in science and society.
- You hold an academic teaching qualification or have equivalent experience with teaching, the co-ordination of courses and student supervision, or are willing to obtain such a qualification.
- You have competence in undergraduate teaching and are motivated to teach in an inclusive way.
- You are strongly committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), including the decolonisation of research and educational practices.
- You have an excellent command of written and spoken English.
Additional Information
Benefits
- We will give you a temporary employment contract of one year with the prospect of an indefinite contract, conditional on availability of structural educational funding and after satisfactory review.
- Your salary within salary scale 11 (€3.821 - €5.230) depends on your previous education and number of years of (relevant) work experience. The amounts in the scale are based on a 38-hour working week.
- You will receive an 8% holiday allowance and an 8,3% end-of-year bonus.
- You will be able to use our Dual Career and Family Support Service . The Dual Career Programme assists your partner via support, tools, and resources to improve their chances of independently finding employment in the Netherlands.

You can make arrangements for the best possible work-life balance with flexible working hours, various leave arrangements and working from home. You are also able to compose part of your employment conditions yourself, for example, exchange income for extra leave days and receive a reimbursement for your sports subscription.
