Offer Description
We are looking for a Lecturer in Critical Intersectional Perspectives on 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 support and 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 in this lecturing position are threefold: 60% teaching, 20% organisation, and 20% research professionalisation.
Sixty percent of the position is to be spent on teaching and student supervision. This will include co-developing a new Bachelor’s course that represents a critical perspective in the curriculum, drawing on critical theories and methods (e.g. feminist, queer, postcolonial). You will also supervise students on thesis projects in these areas and contribute to an existing Master’s course with similar content, working together with colleagues to ensure the content and learning goals are aligned. The purpose of these educational activities is to educate students in justice-oriented socio-cultural approaches to AI. Depending on your skills and interests, you may also be asked to make contributions to other existing or new courses. This is expected to include co-developing and coordinating a kaleidoscope course on Sustainable AI.
Twenty percent of the position is reserved for organisational contributions. This may include contributing to committees (e.g. a diversity, equity and inclusion committee or a degree programme committee), organising and co-organising seminars (e.g. department seminars, or DEI events), co-designing and co-organising group activities (e.g. retreats, training days), or other activities that can advance the decolonisation of our educational programme. These overarching activities will support your career development.
Another twenty percent of the position is reserved for academic professionalisation through research-related activities (such as reading the literature, attending seminars, workshops, conferences, or participating in collaborative research projects). You will be expected to use this time to stay up to date on developments in the areas you teach to ensure your teaching remains current and relevant.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
- You should hold a doctoral degree or equivalent degree, preferably in Social Science, Humanities, or Artificial Intelligence, with demonstrable knowledge of intersectional critical theory (e.g. training in feminist theory, queer theory, critical race studies, postcolonial theory, and/or critical disability studies).
- You have a strong interest in applying this expertise to cognitive science and AI as multidisciplinary fields and the interaction between cognitive science and AI in science and society.
- You hold an academic teaching qualification or have equivalent experience with teaching and co-ordinating 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 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.
- Your salary within salary scale 11 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. Our Family Support Service helps you and your partner feel welcome and at home by providing customised assistance in navigating local facilities, schools, and amenities. Also take a look at our support for international staff page to discover all our services for international employees.
- You will receive extra days off. With full-time employment, you can choose between 30 or 41 days of annual leave instead of the statutory 20.
Work and science require good employment practices. This is reflected in Radboud University's primary and secondary employment conditions . 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. And of course, we offer a good pension plan. You are given plenty of room and responsibility to develop your talents and realise your ambitions. Therefore, we provide various training and development schemes.
