The Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI) and the Faculty of Social 
Sciences at The University of Sheffield wish to recruit a Senior 
Lecturer (= Associate Professor) in AI and In/Equality.

The CMI is The University of Sheffield’s AI research centre, supported 
by a £3.64m investment. This position is one of four academic theme lead 
appointments. The successful applicant will lead the Human-Centric AI theme.

The Social Research Institute (SRI) is a physical hub of research 
centres and networks in the Faculty of Social Sciences, including the 
ESRC Digital Good Network, the Urban Institute, iHuman, the Healthy 
Lifespan Institute and the Centre for Care.

The successful candidate will work across the CMI and SRI for the first 
three years of the post, and will have the opportunity to engage with 
SRI centres and networks to develop a programme of research. After three 
years, you will join a Social Science School appropriate to your 
disciplinary background and expertise.

Concern about AI discrimination and inequality underlies much current 
global policy and scholarly debate. These issues are central to the 
Human-Centric AI theme and to the mission of the CMI. This is a 
fantastic opportunity to develop your career and lead an important 
stream of work within a major centre for AI research.

You will have a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant field of the social 
sciences and experience of interdisciplinary collaboration, especially 
with STEM disciplines. You will have the skills to provide leadership in 
AI and in/equality and to work with other theme leads and the Centre 
Director to ensure that the CMI is at the forefront of AI research, 
innovation, and impact, nationally and internationally.

Your teaching load during the first three years of this position will be 
a maximum of 20% allocated workload, to ensure that you have capacity 
for leadership activities. The position is supported by a PhD 
studentship (UK fees and stipend for 3.5 years) and a generous start-up 
package for travel and equipment.
