Työn kuvaus
The best way to know the future is to create it. That is why we bring together the people who will shape tomorrow. With us, you can do meaningful work whose impact is visible in society and the future of working life. We leave our mark where it is needed most. Would you like to leave yours?
We are looking for a Senior Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics to join our engineering education team. The teaching role is part of an engineering degree programme that combines robotics, AI, programming, and applied engineering expertise. Teaching is conducted in both Finnish and English, primarily as on-site instruction on campus.
Your main workplace will be the Kouvola campus, with possible assignments at other campuses (Kotka, Mikkeli, Savonlinna) when needed. The position is permanent and full-time, starting on 1 February 2027 or as agreed. A probationary period will be applied.
What is the role about?
The role of an AI and robotics teacher offers an alternative career path to an industry expert role, where your technical expertise expands from developing individual solutions to educating future professionals and strengthening the capabilities of the entire field. The work combines teaching, development of learning environments, RDI (research, development, and innovation) activities and close collaboration with industry. You will help students and organisations apply robotics and artificial intelligence in practice and adapt in a rapidly changing environment.
Key teaching areas may include:
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning
- Robotics programming and automation systems
- Data analytics and cybersecurity
- Mathematics for AI and engineering mathematics
- Physics and system modelling
- Programming and software development
The role also includes supervising student projects and theses. You may integrate working-life-oriented projects and development tasks into teaching, supporting regional collaboration. Developing and internationalising teaching content offers opportunities for wider cooperation in both education and RDI projects.
You will work with a small but highly skilled and enthusiastic teaching team, supported by colleagues in the field of engineering education.
What do we expect from you?
We require a relevant Masters degree (MSc) in a suitable field, such as:
- mathematics or computer science
- information technology / artificial intelligence / machine learning
- robotics or mechatronics
- automation or electrical engineering
Senior Lecturer
In accordance with the Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences decree, eligibility requires:
- a Masters degree, and
- at least 3 years of relevant work experience
Additionally, pedagogical qualifications are required, or must be completed within three years of starting the position.
We expect:
- practical work experience in industry or development roles
- strong collaboration and communication skills
- fluent Finnish and English (teaching is conducted in both languages)
We also value:
- the ability to explain complex technical topics clearly and in a student-centred way
- a willingness to develop your pedagogical skills (e.g. digital pedagogy and online teaching)
Why join us?
With us, you will do impactful work whose results are visible across society.
We offer:
- a multidisciplinary, working-life-oriented teaching environment
- the opportunity to influence the development of AI and robotics education
- close collaboration with companies and RDI projects
- an international and evolving higher education community
We believe you should be able to plan your work and working hours flexibly. We want you to perform at your best, both at work and in your free time.
Your salary is based on the collective agreement for Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences. We support your wellbeing with comprehensive occupational healthcare and offer benefits for sports, wellness, and culture. We encourage continuous development and therefore provide access to Xamk Open UAS studies free of charge.
