Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Aston University Full time

The Aston School of Computer Science and Digital Technologies is looking for a Reader or Professor to be Head of Department of Applied Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.


The school sits in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences and is made up of four departments: Applied Maths and Data Science, Applied Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Software Engineering and Cybersecurity, and Electronics and Computer Engineering.

The four departments are expected to develop high-quality, research-inspired, teaching which supports the portfolio of courses delivered by the school, and the Heads of Department will be part of the school's leadership team, helping to define and deliver the school's strategy.


The school is experiencing a period of growth in terms of research activity and student recruitment in the digital sciences: computer science, artificial intelligence, data science, as well as in electrical and electronic engineering.

The Head of Department will work closely with the school's Leadership Team to develop cross-department research and teaching. They will already have a well-developed international track record in research as well as a history of pedagogical innovation. A successful applicant will be able to demonstrate strong leadership.


Equality, diversity and inclusivity are at the heart of all we are and do at Aston, and the Head of Department has a responsibility to ensure this is the case within the department.

The Head of Department will also receive guidance, mentorship and support with their own professional and personal development, and is expected to maintain their standing in both research and teaching.
