AI+ Professor of Education (AI Lead on Learning, Teaching & Assessment)

King's College London is an internationally renowned university delivering exceptional education and world-leading research. As part of a major strategic investment in Artificial Intelligence, King's is inviting applications to two senior education-focused AI+ professorial appointments, with the ambition of shaping the future of education in an AI-enabled world.

AI+ at King's reflects the ambition to harness the full potential of artificial intelligence across the full breadth of disciplines, accelerating its application in areas that address society's most pressing challenges, and advancing core AI research and excellence in education.

These newly created roles will work with a growing AI+ community, including a cohort of recently appointed AI+ Fellows, AI+ professors, and existing members of the King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence. The professors will drive innovation, influence institutional strategy, and support the responsible and effective integration of AI into teaching, learning, assessment, community engagement, and educational development.

Whilst having a home faculty, the appointed professors will work closely through the AI Institute to provide connectivity across nine faculties and provide leadership across two distinct portfolios. This post will lead the portfolio in learning, teaching & assessment, whilst also leading their own portfolio of research related to education in their discipline.

The roles will work closely with the Vice President (Education & Student Success) to contribute to the overall education agenda and, as part of the AI+ initiative, reflect King's commitment to shaping the next generation of AI leaders and ensuring King's remains at the forefront of groundbreaking AI education and innovation. The professors will serve as subject-matter-expert champions, working with senior leaders across King's to accelerate the deployment of AI research and education.

Applications should include:
- A concise statement setting out your reasons for applying for the post and highlighting the particular skills and experience which you feel you would bring to the role (two pages maximum), referencing motivation, research interests, education vision, and future ambitions. Please also indicate which departments/faculties you feel you best align with.
- A curriculum vitae, with a publication list.
- Two referees, including one from your current or most recent employer (only contacted with permission).

The selection process will include a two-stage interview process. Final interviews are planned for January 2027.

King's is able to offer sponsorship for candidates who do not currently possess the right to work in the UK.
