Director of the AI Hub
Location: Madison, Wisconsin
JOB SUMMARY: The Wisconsin School of Business (WSB) is seeking its first staff Director to lead the Artificial Intelligence (AI) hub. The purpose of the AI hub at WSB is to serve as the focal point for all AI-related activities. It serves four primary functions: support research, nurture industry connections, host industry and academic events, and support AI-related communications at WSB. In this leadership role, the hub director will oversee these functions and teach 6-9 credit-hours of AI-related coursework in our undergraduate or graduate business programs. The hub director will report to the faculty director for the AI hub and work closely with stakeholders (e.g., students, staff, faculty, industry, alumni) of WSB.
QUALIFICATIONS: The ideal candidate should have a passion for AI with industry experience, a strong desire to continue to learn and teach AI, and outstanding organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills. While experience in an academic setting is not required, it is an advantage. We seek a self-motivated, collaborative leader with a proven background in AI.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES:
- Support research: The AI hub serves as a home for inter-departmental collaborations. The director will foster community for AI researchers within WSB and offer administrative support for UW-Madison undergraduate and graduate students supporting faculty research.
- Nurture industry connections: The director will collaborate with the Executive Director of Industry Relations and serve as the focal point of contact for WSB industry partners in AI. These partnerships are intended to promote research ideas and help obtain data for empirical research by faculty and PhD students at WSB.
- Manage events: The director will organize faculty and industry speaker events in the AI arena and oversee the organization of an AI conference in the future.
