In particular, the AI SME will possess expertise and professional experience in:

• Strategic Integration of AI and Process Optimization
• Application and Integration of AI in IT Management and Data Analytics
• AI APIs and System Integration
• Strategic Organizational Use of AI

As evidenced by the expertise and professional experience noted above, the AI SME will not simply be creating coursework in prompt engineering.

Fulfilling Cleary University's Mission to "provide an intimate and inclusive, student-centered business education that instills the values of The Cleary Mind™ in our community", the AI SME works closely with leadership, faculty, and instructional design personnel to design and create courses to be offered to our student populations, which are comprised of traditional students, student athletes, and returning adult students across a variety of instructional modalities.

The AI SME combines their formal education, professional knowledge, and real-world experience to guide content development in the course design process. Working closely with academic leadership, faculty, and instructional designers, the AI SME designs, creates, and selects one or more of the following program and course elements:

• Course materials (e.g., textbooks, articles, videos, and online course curations).
• Course assignments (e.g., discussion questions, presentations, applied analyses, and culminating projects).
• With the course offered online, course materials and assignments must also be accessible to students and faculty online.

With the assistance of an instructional designer, the AI SME will ensure Cleary students explore appropriate content and apply their knowledge to meet course-level outcomes and create weekly learning objectives branched out from the main course objectives. The AI SME will consult with leadership, faculty, and instructional designers to ensure consistency of new development with existing Cleary programs and courses, along with key elements of Cleary's plan for the assessment of student learning.

The contract position can be remote or based in the Howell, MI, area. Applications will be reviewed immediately upon receipt and will continue to be accepted until the contract position is filled.
