If you are passionate about
developing the next generation of leaders in applied AI and are enthused about
leveraging your leadership skills to lead our Industry Practicum Program and
build on our current number of corporate relationships, then we invite you to
apply for this role. The AI Master of Engineering is housed within the Institute for Enterprise Engineering,
which supports the development of engineering professionals throughout their
careers as a part of Duke’s
Pratt School of Engineering (Durham, NC).
The major
responsibilities of this new Executive in Residence position will be (1) lead
the AI MEng Industry Practicum program including sourcing, scoping and managing
all student projects, 2) teach two new elective courses in AI and at the
intersection of AI and product innovation / product management, and 3)
participate in service work, which may include but is not limited to;
application reviews, industry relations, technical professional education,
student mentoring and career support, and supporting the Duke AI Hackathon and
other events for the AI MEng program.
Preferred
candidates will have a demonstrated ability to lead student-industry projects,
teach courses at the graduate level, and mentor students from diverse
cultures. Candidates should also have significant
industry experience and a strong track record of success in managing
cross-functional AI/analytics projects. An academic and industry understanding
of these areas, in particular in an applied environment, is crucial to the
success of the classes. A PhD in a
relevant technical area is strongly preferred but not required. This is expected to be an on-site, full-time
position.
