About The Role

Part-Time Doctoral Faculty – Artificial Intelligence

Ed.D. in Leadership and Artificial Intelligence

Anderson University’s International Graduate School invites applications for part-time doctoral faculty in Artificial Intelligence to teach in the University’s Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Leadership and Artificial Intelligence.

The Ed.D. in Leadership and Artificial Intelligence is a professional doctorate designed for experienced professionals who will lead organizations through the opportunities, challenges, and transformations created by artificial intelligence. The program integrates advanced leadership study with artificial intelligence, digital transformation, cybersecurity, ethics, organizational innovation, and applied doctoral research.

Anderson University is particularly interested in scholar-practitioners and accomplished AI professionals who combine appropriate doctoral credentials with significant real-world experience in artificial intelligence and related technologies.

Because artificial intelligence is a rapidly developing field, Anderson University values both academic preparation and substantive professional experience. Candidates are not required to hold a doctorate specifically titled “Artificial Intelligence”. However, candidates must possess an earned terminal degree and demonstrate significant academic and/or professional expertise appropriate to the doctoral course or courses they would teach.

Areas of Teaching Need

Anderson University is recruiting faculty qualified to teach one or more of the following courses

LEAI 701 – Foundations of AI: History and Development
LEAI 740 – Machine Learning and Generative AI
LEAI 750 – AI Ethics and Responsible Use
LEAI 760 – Cybersecurity, Privacy, and AI Risk Management
LEAI 770 – Leading Change through Digital Transformation and AI Innovation
LEAI 780 – Applied Doctoral Research Seminar in Leadership and AI
LEAI 790 – Capstone Project

Minimum Qualifications

Candidates must possess

An earned terminal degree (Ph.D., Ed.D., D.Sc., D.B.A., D.Eng., D.C.S., or other appropriate doctorate) from an appropriately accredited institution.
Graduate education, scholarship, research, and/or significant professional expertise related to the course or courses to be taught.
Demonstrated knowledge of contemporary artificial intelligence and its application within organizations.
The ability to teach and mentor students at the doctoral level in an academically rigorous and professionally relevant environment.
The ability to teach effectively in online, hybrid, and intensive-residency formats.
A commitment to supporting the mission and values of Anderson University.

Preferred Qualifications

Preference will be given to candidates demonstrating one or more of the following

Significant professional experience implementing or leading artificial intelligence initiatives in business, government, healthcare, education, technology, cybersecurity, consulting, nonprofit organizations, or other sectors.
Expertise in generative AI, large language models, machine learning, AI-enabled analytics, AI agents and workflows, predictive systems, or emerging AI technologies.
Experience with enterprise AI implementation, digital transformation, technology strategy, organizational innovation, or AI-enabled decision-making.
Expertise in AI governance, ethics, privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, responsible AI, or AI risk management.
Graduate or doctoral-level teaching experience.
Experience supervising dissertations, doctoral research, applied research, or executive-level capstone projects.
Evidence of continuing engagement with the rapidly evolving AI field through scholarship, applied projects, consulting, industry leadership, professional certifications, professional development, or other substantive activities.

The Scholar-Practitioner We Seek

The Ed.D. in Leadership and Artificial Intelligence is a professional doctorate. Anderson University therefore seeks faculty who can connect doctoral scholarship with contemporary organizational practice. Ideal candidates may include senior technology executives, artificial intelligence and data science leaders, cybersecurity professionals, consultants, researchers, entrepreneurs, government technology leaders, or experienced academics who possess both an appropriate terminal degree and demonstrated expertise in artificial intelligence.

Of particular interest are professionals who have participated directly in the development, implementation, management, governance, or strategic use of artificial intelligence within organizations. Our faculty should help doctoral students understand not simply what artificial intelligence can do, but how leaders can evaluate, implement, govern, secure, and responsibly use AI to improve and transform organizations.

Teaching in the Ed.D. Program

Faculty members will work with experienced professionals pursuing a practice-oriented doctoral degree. Depending upon course assignment, responsibilities may include:

Teaching doctoral courses in online and hybrid formats.
Connecting current AI developments with leadership and organizational practice.
Using case studies, applied projects, simulations, and contemporary organizational challenges.
Mentoring doctoral students in applied research.
Advising students as they translate research into organizational solutions.
Participating, when appropriate, in the Responsible AI Leadership Capstone, through which students address significant workplace, organizational, industry, or societal challenges using responsible applications of artificial intelligence.

Faculty teaching research and capstone courses may also guide students in research design, organizational analysis, implementation strategies, evaluation, and professional presentation of doctoral-level work.
