Faculty Search: Assistant Professor in Artificial Intelligence in Learning
and Education

The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) invites applications for a
full-time, tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor
focused on artificial intelligence (AI) in learning and education.

We seek scholars whose research, teaching, and impact in the field will
advance one or more dimensions of AI in learning and education, including
but not limited to:


   -

   Theoretical and Empirical Foundations: Investigating the foundational
   theoretical principles of various learning processes in relation to AI,
   and/or examining these through empirical studies to understand their impact
   on learning and cognition.
   -

   Design: Conceptualizing, creating, and evaluating AI-based designs, such
   as tools or curricula used in classrooms, online platforms, and
   out-of-school-time settings.
   -

   Practice: Analyzing the pedagogical potentials and complexities of AI,
   attending to learners’ present needs and preparation for future needs in
   life and work.
   -

   Ethical and Societal Implications: Interrogating the ethical,
   historical, and cultural impacts of AI in learning and education, such as
   privacy and bias.


Strong applicants will be distinguished by the quality of their research,
their use of rigorous methods, and the significance of their work for
policy and practice.

We seek candidates who have the interest, enthusiasm, and potential to
teach and mentor master’s and doctoral students interested in pursuing both
research and practice-based careers in education. The candidate is expected
to make meaningful contributions to the core curriculum of our graduate
programs by teaching required courses and recommended elective courses as
part of specific program pathways. The ability to help students develop
conceptual as well as procedural professional knowledge beyond one’s own
specific expertise is essential to our graduate programs.

High-quality teaching is greatly valued at HGSE, and the school is
committed to cultivating and supporting effective pedagogical practices
among faculty, including through our Teaching and Learning Lab, which
provides consultation services for faculty teaching. The successful
candidate will also have interest and potential to lead and contribute to
the development and delivery of residential and online professional
development programs for practitioners, administrators, and leaders through
HGSE’s Programs in Professional Education and to lead work that furthers
the engagement of the school with the larger field of global education
institutions. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute
to HGSE initiatives focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. HGSE
faculty at all ranks advise master’s students, mentor doctoral students,
and participate in institutional governance and service.

By the position start date of July 1, 2024, candidates will possess a
doctorate or another terminal degree in the learning sciences, computer
science, educational psychology, cognitive science, information sciences,
educational technology, science and technology studies, or a related
field—with expertise and an established research agenda with artificial
intelligence. Ideal candidates will have demonstrated teaching experience,
though it is not required for the appointment.

The search committee will begin reviewing applications on November 1, 2023;
for full consideration, please apply by that date. Please submit a CV,
cover letter, research statement, statement of teaching philosophy that
includes a description of the candidate’s orientation toward diversity,
equity and inclusion practices, three letters of reference, and three or
more writing samples/publications online at:
https://apply.interfolio.com/131655. Candidates invited to interview will
be asked to submit additional documents (e.g., sample syllabi, teaching
evaluations).

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Faculty Affairs at

academic at gse.harvard.edu.



We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will
receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran
status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and
pregnancy-related conditions or any other characteristic protected by law.
