Masterclass — live cohort session
The proposition
Why teach with us
Six reasons instructors give for joining, and for staying.
Lead in emerging technologies
Teach at the intersection of large language models, agentic AI, quantum computing, AI security and AI governance — disciplines defining intelligent systems and shaping policy.
Research-driven teaching
Our instructors are active researchers and practitioners. You teach what you are building, discovering and deploying, with live case studies rather than last year's examples.
Global impact and recognition
Contribute to a growing ecosystem of academic institutions, government agencies and industry partners, through publication, conference presentation and policy consultation.
Flexible engagement models
Full-time faculty, adjunct and visiting faculty, industry practitioners running intensive workshops, research fellows, and guest lecturers delivering masterclass series.
Collaborative environment
Work alongside AI engineers, quantum physicists, cybersecurity experts, ethicists and policy specialists, with co-teaching and joint research as the norm.
Cutting-edge resources
Advanced computing, LLM development environments, quantum platforms, secure AI testing facilities and industry partnership networks.

Frequently asked questions
Before you apply
Do I need a PhD to become an instructor?
No. Advanced degrees are valued, but we prioritise practical expertise and teaching ability. Industry practitioners with significant hands-on experience are encouraged to apply.
Can I teach remotely?
Yes. Remote and hybrid teaching options exist for many courses, particularly specialized workshops and executive education programmes.
How much time does it take?
It depends on the engagement model. Adjunct positions typically ask three to six hours a week during teaching semesters; full-time positions are standard academic appointments.
Can I continue my industry work while teaching?
Yes, and we encourage it — it is what keeps the teaching current. Many of our adjunct instructors are active practitioners.
What support is there for curriculum development?
Instructional design support, teaching resources, technical infrastructure, and collaborative curriculum development alongside experienced faculty.
Do you work with international instructors?
Yes. We welcome applications worldwide and accommodate a range of time zones and teaching formats.
Join our mission
We are not only teaching technology — we are shaping how it gets built, deployed and governed. If that is the work you want to be doing, we would like to hear from you.
