Training Director, Africa-India-Oxford Schmidt AI in Science Faculty Fellowship Programme

Location: Doctoral Training Centre, 1-4 Keble Road

This is a re-advertisement. Previous applicants need not apply.

We are seeking to recruit to the post of Training Director for the Africa-India-Oxford Schmidt AI in Science Faculty Fellowship Programme.

As Training Director, you will use your research expertise in AI/Machine Learning (ML) working closely with the Academic Director, the Africa Oxford Centre, and the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development, to develop and deliver the training programme for this exciting new programme which builds on Oxford’s existing Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme. The new programme spans the interdisciplinary research of the departments within the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division at Oxford.

The Programme will recruit outstanding scientists (Fellows) from under-resourced settings in Africa and India and will build an inclusive community of researchers with excellent understanding of AI/ML techniques and their application to scientific research. It will provide tailored training in AI/ML and professional skills to enable the Fellows to achieve their research goals.

With the support of the Programme Administrator, you will be responsible for the day to day running and monitoring of the training programme, ensuring that it is relevant, focused and fulfils the requirements of the Faculty Fellows.

You will help develop and support a comprehensive programme of career and professional development activities and will develop and deliver activities which foster the cohort ethos and which support the EEDI aims of the programme.

This part time role (50%) can be matched with existing funding to create a full-time post for an extended period of time and could therefore suit post-holders of postdoctoral fellowships, subject to approval by the funding body and if the candidate holds a fellowship at the University of Oxford, the department(s)/college where the fellowship is held.
