THE UNIVERSITY
We are an ambitious and modern University: ambitious for ourselves, our staff, our students and our alumni. We have been helping to shape the future since 1927, and research is still at the heart of what we do today.
Technology has historical routed foundations at the University of Hull, but that doesn’t impede our ability to deliver valuable skills and research in utlisiting technology for now and tomorrow. Through our Strategy 2030, we take seriously our role in shaping a fairer, brighter and carbon-neutral future.
Within this context, the world is changing rapidly as a result of the power of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. This can be seen in almost every walk of life and at every level of society. Educating the next generation of data scientists and artificial intelligence practitioners and conducting research in this vital field are very much part of responding to this global challenge.
Through the launch of the University’s new Centre of Excellence for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Modelling (DAIM), we are responding to the increasing need for qualified practitioners by delivering a step-change in the provision of educational excellence – and high-quality research – which cut across traditional disciplinary departmental and faculty boundaries.
THE ROLE
We are significantly investing and contributing to the AI world of today and tomorrow - and this investment brings a fantastic opportunity for seven Teaching Fellows to join us at the Centre of Excellence on a permanent basis.
The ideal candidates will have excellent communication and personal supervision skills and be able to engage, motivate and support students. They will be expected to make significant contributions to supporting the academic progress of students, to support teaching, and to deliver a positive impact on the student experience. Preference will be given to candidates who are able to provide teaching support across a number of subject areas relevant to DAIM and who complement and enhance the overall disciplinary balance within DAIM.
Ultimately, we are an education institution – it’s our bread and butter! Ideally you will hold a good degree, and a PhD or equivalent, with experience in teaching and research. However, we also recognise the value that significant and relevant work experience can bring to an individual’s skillset, particularly, if you have experience in at least one aspect of Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or Python programming.
We are particularly interested in hearing from applicants who have an interest in Artificial Intelligence or Data Science coupled with qualifications and skills that suit the following specialist areas within the University:
Faculty of Business, Law and Politics:
- AI for Sustainability/Logistics
- Artificial Intelligence in Law Technology
- Financial Technology and Modelling
- Digital/E-Parliament or i-Government
Faculty of Health Sciences:

Teaching Fellows will contribute to support of students in a pastoral role, undertake computer laboratory work, and will create and supervise student projects. They will contribute to the delivery and administration of assessment activities. The University of Hull embraces e-learning technologies, the post holders will be expected to fully engage with our virtual learning environment in addition to working with students in person.
We are delighted to be in a leading position during this latest industrial revolution, and to be able to recruit the future education, research, and business-interfacing leaders of tomorrow. We hope that you feel inspired to come and join us.
