Course Director of AI Passport Platform and Lecturer - AI Health Initiative (AIHI)

AIHI•Gainesville, FL

14d

About The Position

The AI for Health Institute at the University of Florida seeks a Course Director and Lecturer to lead the AI Passport platform. This platform is designed for multiple audiences and focuses on governance literacy in AI education. It includes the NIH-funded AI Passport for Biomedical Researchers (R25), the UF-funded AI Passport for Healthcare Workforce, and other audience-specific versions. The Course Director will be responsible for curriculum quality, learner experience, implementation fidelity, and scholarly documentation of the platform. This role involves close collaboration with the Contact PI, MPIs, program manager, and instructional design team. The position is appointed at the rank of a lecturer and is non-tenure accruing, with a clear pathway for academic growth as the platform expands. AI Passport utilizes the SPACER framework (See-Practice-Share-Reflect), an experiential learning paradigm based on Kolb's experiential learning theory and the AIBHS design-studio tradition. The platform features a modular content backbone, various audience-specific passports, and a front-door role-typology assessment called Meridian. The Course Director will be the sole operational owner of the learner experience and the scholarly record of that experience, stepping into this role as the platform's growth necessitates dedicated academic leadership.

Responsibilities

Own the integrity of the AI Passport content backbone across all passport instantiations and ensure fidelity in the implementation of SPACER-grounded pedagogy (See, Practice, Share, Reflect) in every module.
Coordinate module-faculty contributors and uphold experiential-learning standards.
Oversee the entire cohort lifecycle, from recruitment through credentialing, and partner with the Program Manager on enrollment, onboarding, gating, and learner support.
Address learner-identified issues (specialty alignment, feedback, navigation, workload) as ongoing curriculum-design challenges.
Institute and maintain a fidelity-of-implementation check for each module to assess design adherence, identify friction points, and document how the curriculum adapts.
Own the platform's measurement spine, including pre/post microskill assessments, module-level outcomes, governance-literacy credentialing criteria, and the integration of the Meridian assessment for learner routing and personalization.
Coordinate with the quantitative lead on cohort-level evaluation.
Serve as an author on the platform's publication family, including a flagship concept-plus-evidence paper, a SPACER methods paper, a Meridian instrument paper, a governance-literacy viewpoint, and implementation-science follow-on publications. Lead at least one manuscript as first or senior author within the first 18 months.
Supervise and develop instructional design, academic specialist, and coach/mentor staff, building the talent pipeline required for the platform's scale.
Coordinate across different passport instantiations (Healthcare Workforce, Biomedical Researchers, BioNexus, future passports) to maintain a shared backbone and ensure audience-specific adaptations are additive.
Represent the platform in internal UF/UFHealth discussions, at partner institutions, AIBHS design-studio events, and national meetings as directed by the Contact PI.
