We are looking for Portfolio Project Instructors to join our instruction team. AI4ALL Ignite is a national accelerator that equips college students with the tools to land their first AI/ML internship. This program consists of a Portfolio Project component and a Career Readiness component, although the Portfolio Project Instructor will only be responsible for the Portfolio Project. In the Portfolio Project, students will acquire practical experience in the various stages of AI solution development, encompassing data exploration, preparation, model training, testing, deployment, and the consideration of responsible AI practices. The Portfolio Project will culminate with a Student Symposium where students will showcase their achievements. Portfolio Project Instructors will be provided with all the necessary course resources, including assignments, rubrics, readings, and lecture slides. This part-time position involves approximately 16-20 hours per week and runs for 13 weeks in the summer. This role is a remote position and therefore will require the Portfolio Project Instructor to respond to electronic communication from various stakeholders (students, colleagues, manager, etc.) in a timely manner within reason, including weekends. The Portfolio Project Instructor will report to the Curriculum & Instruction Manager.

  • Work both independently and collaboratively
  • The pay rate is $42 per hour for approximately 16 hours per week (preparing for and teaching 2 classes) for a total duration of 13 weeks; instructing a third class adds 4 hours per week for approximately 20 hours per week.
