This is a casual position for a subject-matter expert to co-develop and convene a 6-week course in AI ethics, as part of a Masters’-level program in AI Leadership and Strategy. Candidates are expected to have, or be close to having, a PhD level qualification in philosophy or related area.



UNSW Online courses are offered in asynchronous mode. Course content will be developed in 2026 for first delivery in March-April 2027 (Hexamester 2). The course will be offered again in June-July 2027 (Hexamester 4) and annually after that.



Duties:

   - During the second half of 2026, you will assist in the design and

   development of the course material (~21hrs).

   - When the course is delivered in 2027, you will be expected to hold a

   weekly webinar session, manage student discussions and assessment

   submissions, and do all the marking (~90hrs combined, based on current

   projections).



Compensation will depend on actual hours worked. Based on current enrolment

projections, it is estimated at approximately $18,203 at PhD holder rates

($15,093 for non-PhD holders).
