Vacancy for Ad Astra Fellow - Lecturer/Assistant Professor in AI and Digital Cultural Heritage at University College Dublin

21 February 2025

Dublin, Ireland

Full-Time

Applications are sought for Ad Astra Fellow - Lecturer/Assistant Professor in AI and Digital Cultural Heritage within the College of Social Sciences and Law.

The UCD School of Information and Communications is undergoing a major period of growth, with successful undergraduate and graduate educational programmes and an ambitious programme of research across a range of subfields including library and information studies, communication and media studies, digital policy, human-computer interaction, information systems, science/technology/society (STS), applied artificial intelligence, and critical digital media. The school is seeking to recruit an Ad Astra Fellow in AI and Digital Cultural Heritage who will provide research leadership within the school and across the wider university in this important field.

Reporting to the Head of School, the Ad Astra Fellow will have a key role in research and scholarship, undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and academic administration, management, and professional organisation in the academic areas of Information and Communication Studies, in active collaboration with colleagues in this School, in the other schools of the UCD College of Social Sciences and Law, and throughout the University.

The School of Information & Communication Studies is committed to research-led education. The candidate will be expected to conduct research in the area of AI and Digital Cultural Heritage that supports high-quality teaching in their field, and to lead innovations in both research and teaching as well as expanding and deepening partnerships with sectoral stakeholders nationally and internationally. The candidate will be expected to seek national and international research funding opportunities to grow capacity and consolidate relevant interdisciplinary interests across the college and university towards developing a dedicated research group in AI and digital cultural heritage studies, thus enhancing UCD's profile in this area.

The Masters in Library and Information Studies (MLIS) programme at ICS is a foundational taught programme of relevance to this area of research and attracts Masters applicants from North America, Europe, and Ireland. This Ad Astra Fellow will pursue growth in taught graduate enrolment on this topic, as well as engage with funding opportunities to develop AI and GLAM research, offering a pathway for PhD candidates from 2026. The candidate will contribute especially to the newly revised and accredited MLIS and demonstrate the ability to enhance existing digital cultural heritage contributions and offerings in the programme.

The candidate will also be invited to design a new AI-focused interdisciplinary module that will be delivered across our MSc in Human-Computer Interaction, MSc in Communication and Media programme, as well as MLIS to further build synergies within the School. Additionally, the candidate will contribute to the development of new undergraduate modules for the BSc in Social Science (ICS) and BA in Creative and Cultural Institutions to which ICS is a key contributor, to enhance ICS UG offerings and inform discussions on a potential AI-related major on the undergraduate DN700 BSc programme.

With UCD's new HEA supported micro-credential strategy, a scholar with this expertise will also support potential development of micro-credentials in AI and digital GLAM studies, to meet the demand for skills development from professionals working in the Irish cultural heritage sector.
