Your role as lecturer will be to provide innovative, hands-on education in recent AI techniques—including generative models and modern machine learning approaches—programming (especially Python), and large-scale systems design for various bachelor’s and master's programmes in Business Analytics. Teaching will primarily be conducted in English or Dutch, with support provided by UvA to learn Dutch if needed. You will:

• Deliver lectures and tutorials that blend theory with practice through hands-on exercises, labs, projects, and case studies in modern artificial intelligence (e.g., generative AI, deep learning), programming (primarily in Python), and the architecture and management of large-scale computing structures (cloud, distributed systems, big data platforms);
• Actively engage students in applying concepts using real-world datasets, programming assignments, and industry-relevant technologies;
• Coordinate tutorial groups for larger courses, including planning schedules and overseeing student tutors;
• Supervise bachelor and master’s thesis projects that prioritize practical application of AI and programming in business and analytics contexts;
• Contribute to course development and the continuous update of curriculum content to reflect the fast-moving AI and computing landscape.

Example courses you may teach include:

• Introduction to Programming
• Big Data Infrastructures & Technology
• AI Impact Lab
• Information and Data Management in a Global Business World
• Text Retrieval and Mining

• You are a motivated, hands-on educator, passionate about teaching through doing, with expertise in Artificial Intelligence (preferably recent methods, such as generative AI), programming (Python), and large-scale computation;
• Ideally, you hold a PhD, but you must at least have a degree in computer science, information systems, data science, econometrics, or a closely related field (applied mathematics, engineering);
• You are committed to active, practical learning experiences and to keeping pace with rapidly evolving digital technologies;
• You have experience teaching at the university level, or you want to specialize in academic education, and you feel fulfilled by providing inspiring lectures that engage your students;
• You possess excellent teaching skills and have proven experience with strong evaluations in teaching in English, and preferably also in Dutch;
• You are a good colleague who approaches others with goodwill and respect. You hold a basic teaching qualification (equivalent to the UTQ). If you do not yet have this qualification, you will be given the opportunity to obtain it.
