About AI Academy

AI Academy is an initiative that challenges talented students from a variety of programs with exciting, real-world AI problems.

Our goal is to contribute to society by giving the next generation of AI experts practical experience working on problems faced by stakeholders in academia, industry, and government organizations. More information: https://liu.se/forskning/ai/ai-academy (https://liu.se/forskning/ai/ai-academy)

About the job

Your tasks will consist of conducting research and development work within one or more of the projects that AI Academy runs together with active researchers, often in collaboration with external companies or organizations. Research and course assistants play a vital role in the research and teaching at our department, where the goal is always the highest quality.

Throughout the year, we collect interesting AI problems from academia, industry, and government organizations. At the beginning of each autumn, spring, and summer term, AI Academy starts a new round of participants.

Each project idea is pitched, and participants indicate their project preferences. We then assign each participant a project, and our AI experts supervise the project groups together with the third-party project stakeholders. Each project group has access to a growing repository of AI models that is continuously expanded. At the end of each project, the results are summarized in a short presentation.

About you

To be employed as a teaching assistant, you must be admitted to higher education at the first or second cycle level.

We are looking for you who are interested in AI/ML and want to work with research and teaching alongside your regular studies at Linköping University. Documented experience in AI, machine learning, as well as teaching or other types of leadership roles, is meritorious, especially if they relate to the areas covered by the position. Good communication and collaboration skills are required.

Our research covers a broad spectrum of areas, from fundamental computer science to applied fields. The extensive research also influences our undergraduate and doctoral education, leading us to offer courses within several civil engineering and university engineering programs, as well as programs in innovative programming, cognitive science, and statistics.
