LSE's AI and Education Fellowships are an exciting opportunity for LSE academics to lead on embedding AI in education at LSE and beyond.
Our Fellows receive a one term teaching buy-out, tailored resources and support to pilot and embed AI in key courses in their departments. Following this, they will serve as AI champions in their departments and across the wider School community, sharing case studies and other relevant materials from their development work.
The Fellowships have been generously funded by Reid Hoffman, who is co-founder of LinkedIn and Inflection AI, and a was appointed Visiting Senior Fellow at LSE’s Data Science Institute (DSI).

What does it mean to be an LSE AI and Education Fellow?
- The Fellowship is a one term teaching buy-out to allow our Fellows time and space to reimagine and redesign the teaching, learning and assessment on their course or multiple courses in the department through exploring and taking advantage of the opportunities of AI tools.
- Our Fellows will receive advice, guidance and one-to-one support from a dedicated 'AI in education development' expert who works jointly across the Digital Skills Lab and the Eden Centre. They will provide practical hands-on support for course redesign and the build and implementation of AI tools.
- Fellows will receive dedicated project management, administrative, and communications support to help with the promotion and dissemination of case studies and resulting course materials internally and externally (as appropriate).
What is expected of our LSE AI and Education Fellows?
- Each Fellow is delivering an AI-integrated course (or courses) aligned with the aims, deliverables, and timeline agreed upon with the Review Panel.
- They will champion their work in LSE and beyond, including producing an open access case study across media formats, sharing course materials, presenting at events, and supporting wider work in the department and in LSE on development of AI in education. They will be taking an active role in the Fellowship Community of Practice for the full two years of the scheme.
- Work closely with colleagues in their own department including the Deputy Head (Education), relevant Programme Director(s), and feed into the Department Teaching Committee or equivalent body.
