Job title: Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence Grade 8 (3 Posts)
Job reference: 021691
£41,526 - £52,560 pa (or pro rata)
Closing date: 2-Oct-2020 23:30
Hours of Work: Full Time (also can be Job Share, flexible / part time - 
minimum of 0.5FTE)
Tenure: Permanent

We seek to appoint up to three highly motivated, research-focused 
individuals as Lecturers in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the 
Department of Computer Science, University of Liverpool. The successful 
candidates will undertake research of international standard and 
contribute to teaching in the Department of Computing Science at 
undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including the new MSc in Data 
Science and Artificial Intelligence programme supported by funding from 
the Office for Students.

The appointments will be based on the proven research track record or 
potential of the candidates. We are particularly interested in 
fundamental research in any core area of AI that either strengthens our 
existing research or complements our expertise, interdisciplinary 
research and collaborations with other areas across and outside the 
University, and applications of AI and Machine learning leading to 
economic and social impact outside academia. Specific areas of expertise 
include but are not limited to: AI in Law; Computer Vision; Explainable 
AI; Natural Language Processing; Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning; 
Robotics; Safe, Trustworthy and Robust AI; and Theory of Machine 
Learning. Exceptional individuals with an excellent track record of 
research in areas of Computer Science related to AI will also be considered.

We value the diversity of our department and welcome applications from 
all sectors of the community. We recognise that many individuals value 
flexibility in their work/life balance and we will consider applications 
to work on a part-time, flexible and job share basis wherever possible 
(a minimum of 0.5 FTE). We are working to improve the gender balance in 
the Department of Computer Science, and we particularly welcome 
applications from women.

Please note that in terms of responsibilities and recognition, the 
position of a newly appointed lecturer in the UK is comparable to that 
of an assistant professor in the United States. This position is 
permanent (subject to passing the probation in year 3 of the 
appointment), with no end date on the contract.

************
Established in 1983, our department has grown into a vibrant 
environment, investigating key topics for developments in computer 
science and building a strong international reputation for research. Our 
key research expertise is in Algorithms and Networks, Economics and 
Computation, Artificial Intelligence, and Logical Methods in Computer 
Science. In the UK's 2014 independent Research Excellence Framework 
exercise, we have been rated 3rd on world-leading (4*) research activity 
and 10th overall.

The Department has enjoyed sustained investment in teaching spaces and 
specialist facilities. The Department hosts two robotics research 
labs—the smARTLab and the Trustworthy Robotics Lab. Examples of our 
interdisciplinary engagement include collaborations with Healthcare, 
Physical Sciences, Engineering and Geography through the Geographic Data 
Science Lab, Network Sciences and Technologies Initiative, Leverhulme 
Centre for Functional Materials Design, Material Innovation Factory, 
Sensor City, Virtual Engineering Centre, Centre for Autonomous Systems, 
and the newly established £12.7million Digital Innovation Facility.
