CDT Communications Officer 

Are you ready to make a meaningful and positive impact in the world of Artificial Intelligence? 

If you are passionate about communications and wish to contribute to a transformative initiative in AI training and innovation, we would love to hear from you!

We are on the lookout for a dynamic and creative Communications Officer to join our team at the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in AI for Digital Media Inclusion at the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI (PAI).  The programme is training the next generation of creative industry AI professionals to lead the transformation to inclusive media services for all.  

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to our mission of redefining the role of AI by placing people at its heart and enhancing human capabilities for a more inclusive and responsible future. 

About Us 

The University of Surrey, in partnership with StoryFutures at Royal Holloway University, are committed to transform AI challenge-led training and innovation. Our vision is to deliver unique cross-disciplinary training embedded in real-world challenges and creative practice, and to address the industry need for people with responsible AI, inclusive design and creative skills.

We believe that AI can enable intelligent media which adapts to individual needs to reduce barriers to inclusion (preference, neuro-divergence, age, language, sensory or physical abilities). Our CDT in AI for Digital Media Inclusion is doing just that!

The Role

As the CDT Communications Officer, you will be instrumental in developing a cohesive and ambitious internal and external communications and events plan that aligns with the CDT goals, fosters an open culture, and champions our people-centred ethos. Your contribution will be vital in articulating our mission and connecting with various audiences through captivating content and innovative and inclusive communication techniques.

Your responsibilities will involve hands-on content creation, from inception to delivery. You will develop inspiring narratives and engaging audience-focused content across various platforms, utilising a mix of media. You will design impactful recruitment campaigns for our PhD cohorts as well as developing promotional materials that spotlight the CDT to a wide range of audiences. The use of a compelling and brand-compliant Digital Media Inclusion approach from designing to deploying content is paramount for this role.  

Join us and work on shaping future media services to be inclusive for all!
