The roles
Loughborough has ambitious plans to set up a new Centre for AI and Digital. This is to meet the growing demand for the research around artificial intelligence and the subsequent supply of skills to the job market. This centre will sit alongside Loughborough’s new £6m DigiLab teaching facilities and a dedicated cybersecurity lab. These will support our existing Master’s degrees and two new Master's degrees in Cyber Resilience and Computer Science conversion, both starting in 2025.
We would like to attract leaders and teams to develop this new Centre for AI and Digital over the next few years, with the aim of making it a major hub in the Midlands.
