About Knowledge Networks
Knowledge Networks is a global convening and education organization dedicated to equipping policymakers, media professionals, corporate leaders, and practitioners with the clarity, ethics, and insight needed to harness artificial intelligence responsibly and effectively. Our mission is to build platforms for dialogue and learning that ensure AI innovation is balanced with governance, foresight, and accountability.
Our flagship initiative, the ERAI Fellowship Program (Ethical & Responsible AI in Journalism), trains cohorts of journalists, storytellers, and media professionals from across the world to report on, investigate, and hold accountable the AI systems reshaping public life. The 2026 inaugural cohort — "The Public Interface" — brings together 17 exceptional fellows from across five continents, with Cohort 2 scaling to 100 fellows later in the year.
The Opportunity
As our Instructional Design Expert, you will serve as the critical bridge between Knowledge Networks' distinguished faculty and the ERAI fellows. Our programme draws on leading academics, AI practitioners, policy experts, and investigative journalists as instructors — individuals who are world-class in their domains but who may present content in formats that require structuring, sequencing, and pedagogical refinement to maximise fellow learning outcomes.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role at the heart of a programme that is setting the global standard for AI literacy in journalism. You will shape how knowledge is architected, delivered, and retained across an internationally diverse cohort — ensuring that every session, module, and resource reflects the rigour and quality that Knowledge Networks demands.
Key Responsibilities
Faculty Collaboration & Content Transformation
▪ Work directly with ERAI faculty to review, assess, and transform raw subject-matter content into structured, pedagogically sound learning materials
▪ Translate complex AI, ethics, regulatory, and media concepts into accessible, sequenced learning frameworks appropriate for practising journalists at varying levels of technical familiarity
▪ Conduct pre-session briefings with faculty to align on learning objectives, timing, and participant engagement strategies
▪ Provide structured, constructive feedback to faculty on content clarity, pacing, and delivery — always with sensitivity to the expertise and seniority of the instructors involved
Curriculum Architecture & Learning Design
▪ Design and maintain the ERAI curriculum framework — ensuring coherent sequencing, appropriate scaffolding, and measurable learning outcomes across all modules
▪ Develop instructional materials including session guides, fellow workbooks, case study frameworks, reflection prompts, and practicum briefs
▪ Apply adult learning principles and active learning methodologies to ensure high engagement and knowledge retention across a globally diverse, experienced cohort
▪ Design and implement formative and summative assessment instruments aligned to ERAI's certification standards
Quality Assurance & Continuous Improvement
▪ Establish and maintain a systematic quality review process for all programme content — from pre-session materials through to post-session resources
▪ Gather, analyse, and act on fellow feedback to continuously improve the learning experience across the cohort lifecycle
▪ Identify and address gaps between faculty-provided content and fellow learning needs, proposing and implementing solutions in a timely and professional manner
▪ Document and maintain a living repository of instructional assets, templates, and standards for use across…
