Tenure Track Position in AI/ML in Education
1 week ago
The Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta invites applications for a tenure-track position in the area of education and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and/or Machine Learning (ML) in education. We are primarily seeking an emerging scholar to hire at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.
The successful candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in Education (or related area, including Computer Science), whose primary focus is in the application of AI/ML in learning environments. They will be expected to build a strong, independent, externally funded research program, supervise graduate students, and teach graduate and undergraduate courses. Strong potential for productive interactions with other researchers in the Faculty and in other disciplines/units at the University of Alberta will be considered an asset. In addition, the successful candidate must have demonstrated research potential strong enough to qualify for a Canada CIFAR Artificial Intelligence (CCAI) Chair as evidenced by an impactful program of research and publications in top venues that make fundamental advances in AI/ML or in how AI/ML is applied within educational settings such as K-12 and higher education.
The successful candidate will be nominated for a CCAI Chair by the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii), which includes research funding for at least five years. This position is part of a University of Alberta cluster hire in the intersection of Machine Learning and other areas, including strength in Health, Energy, and Indigenous Initiatives in health and humanities, among others. The successful candidate will become an Amii Fellow, joining a collegial institute of world-class AI and ML researchers, with access to Amii internal funding resources, administrative support, and a collaborative environment.
Ranked third in the country and in the top 100 globally, the Faculty of Education is home to over 100 world-class scholars, including three Canada Research Chairs, with research spanning diverse disciplines including measurement, evaluation, and data science (MEDS), deaf education, Indigenous education, library and information studies, multilingualism, and structured literacy. Offering the largest undergraduate teacher education in Canada, along with various accredited programs, the Faculty is making an impact locally, nationally, and internationally.
The Centre for Research on Applied Measurement and Evaluation (CRAME) is one of five research centres in the Faculty, contributing to education systems with applied assessment and evaluation rooted in research. Faculty members in CRAME conduct widely cited research in AI and machine learning. The CIFAR chair will be situated in MEDS, with opportunities to contribute to CRAME and other AI and ML initiatives across the Faculty and University.
The anticipated start date for this position is July 1, 2025. Salary will be based on qualifications, experience, and achievements as per the Faculty Agreement.
