Role Overview

The Course Director – Agentic AI (Part-Time) will lead the academic, research, and strategic direction of Heisenberg Institute’s Agentic AI program. This role is designed for a senior practitioner or researcher who operates at the frontier of autonomous AI systems and wishes to contribute meaningfully without a full-time commitment.

Beyond curriculum leadership, the Course Director will play a key role in building research initiatives and supporting institutional growth by collaborating with the Growth & Collaborations Director to develop high-quality partnerships across academia, industry, and innovation ecosystems.

This is a high-trust, high-impact role, focused on intellectual leadership rather than operational teaching volume.

Core Responsibilities

1. Academic & Curriculum Leadership

Architect and oversee a graduate-level curriculum in Agentic AI, covering autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, planning and reasoning, tool-using agents, orchestration frameworks, and real-world deployment.
Ensure academic depth, coherence, and long-term relevance of the program.
Define learning outcomes aligned with research rigor and industry applicability.

2. Research Development & Direction

Initiate, guide, and supervise research tracks in Agentic AI under the institute.
Design applied and exploratory research projects, labs, and capstone pathways.
Mentor research interns and advanced learners where required.
Contribute to or oversee whitepapers, technical reports, and research publications representing the institute.

3. Faculty & Academic Standards

Support selection and academic guidance of AI Faculty delivering the program.
Define academic benchmarks, evaluation criteria, and research quality standards.
Ensure clarity and depth in instruction, even for highly complex systems.

4. Growth, Partnerships & Collaborations (Strategic Support Role)

Work closely with the Growth & Collaborations Director to:
Support the development of academic, research, and industry partnerships.
Provide intellectual and technical validation during partnership discussions.
Help shape joint initiatives such as co-branded programs, research collaborations, and sponsored projects.
Represent the institute in select strategic discussions, conferences, or advisory forums where academic authority is required.

5. Strategic Advisory Contribution

Advise leadership on emerging trends, risks, and opportunities in Agentic AI.
Contribute to long-term positioning of Heisenberg Institute as a serious authority in advanced AI research and education.
Support governance discussions around ethics, safety, and responsible autonomous systems.

Time Commitment (Part-Time)

Expected commitment: 8–15 hours per week (flexible, outcome-driven).
Schedule structured around academic cycles, research milestones, and strategic needs.

Required Qualifications

Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD preferred) in AI, Computer Science, Robotics, Cognitive Science, or related disciplines.
Demonstrated expertise in Agentic AI, autonomous systems, or multi-agent architectures.
Strong understanding of modern AI stacks (LLMs, agent frameworks, orchestration layers, evaluation methods).
Experience in research-led program design or advanced AI education.
Ability to communicate complex systems with academic precision and clarity.

Preferred Profile

Experience in AI research labs, frontier startups, or advanced enterprise AI teams.
Active involvement in research, publications, or system-level AI development.
Prior experience supporting partnerships, collaborations, or institutional growth.
Academic leadership or program-director experience is a strong advantage.

Engagement & Compensation

Part-time, senior-level engagement.
Compensation structured as Revenue Share
Opportunity to shape a long-term research and education ecosystem, not just a course.

Positioning Statement

This role is ideal for a senior AI professional who wants to influence how Agentic AI is researched, taught, and responsibly deployed, while remaining active in their primary professional pursuits.
