Temporary Data and AI at Work Instructor

The Data Science and AI Academy is the first of several NC State Academies, which are true university-wide efforts involving all 10 colleges. The Data Science and AI Academy’s goal is to network and catalyze data science across all three pillars of the university’s land‑grant mission: education, research and service to the state of North Carolina. At NC State, data science is for everyone.

The Data Science and AI Academy offers 1-credit project-based courses and customized non-credit courses on a variety of topics grounded in our ADAPT course model (All Campus Data Science Accessible Project-based Teaching and Learning). We seek instructors from industry, government and academia who are excited about broadening participation in data science and welcoming learners from many disciplines.

Instructors will join a professional teaching community that meets twice monthly to discuss data science teaching and learning research and practice.

Data at Work and AI at Work courses are developed and include consultation with the client. They have minimal lecturing and address problems, tasks and challenges from the client’s work environment, using the same, simulated or adjacent data as that found in the workplace. Learners engage in practice and/or projects relevant to their daily work. Data at Work and AI at Work (not-for-credit) courses have a customized schedule.

The successful candidate(s) will develop and teach customized, active, hands‑on, project-based non-credit courses in Data Science and AI.
