Lecturer of Data Science

The Data Science and AI Academy is the first of several NC State Academies, which are true university-wide efforts involving all 10 colleges. The Data Science and AI Academy's goal is to network and catalyze data science across all three pillars of the university's land-grant mission: education, research and service to the state of North Carolina. At NC State, data science and AI are for everyone.

The Data Science and AI Academy offers 1-credit project-based courses and customized non-credit courses on a variety of topics grounded in our ADAPT course model (All Campus Data Science Accessible Project-based Teaching and Learning). We seek instructors from industry, government and academia who are excited about broadening participation in data science and welcoming learners from many disciplines.
