Associate Digitalisation of Education (gn), full-time

The contract shall commence on 01 February 2027 and is limited until 31 December 2028.
This role is meant to advance and support the digitalisation of education at the Hertie School. The position is embedded within Curricular Affairs but also reports to the CIVICA Manager. The position is contingent upon receipt of funding from the DAAD, which is expected.

This role is meant to advance and support the digitalisation of education -broadly understood- at the Hertie School, with the ultimate goal of enabling the further integration of the Hertie School with partner institutions of the CIVICA network. The position will directly support both the administration and instructors and may also have limited interfaces with students.

The role has four pillars:

1. CIVICA portfolio: Development of content (videos, documentation, etc.) on the digitalisation of education (e.g., AI literacy) for CIVICA institutions and the Hertie School community.
2. Digital Support for Instructors: Serve as the main contact point for instructors on learning management systems and digital teaching tools (e.g. Moodle, Vimeo, Rise Articulate, and campus instructor portal); recording of lecture sessions; and support for online exam software, among others. This will require liaising with a wide variety of stakeholders at the university including Instructors, Faculty Assistants, Examination Office, Facility Management, Communications, and IT.
3. Digitalisation of Programme Management Infrastructure: Work on specific projects to further develop and automate the systems and processes for programme and course management, with a particular focus on the needs of Curricular Affairs and Examination Office (e.g. digital exams).
4. AI Literacy: Contribute to the general AI readiness of our staff and instructors, by offering regular trainings on how to use AI responsibly for various purposes and in different contexts (teaching, learning, research, administration). This will require close collaboration with the Academic Counsellor, the Library, the Examination Office, the CIVICA Team, and other key stakeholders in the university.
