About the role

The Faculty Lead & Learning Engineer - Sciences is Outsmart’s designated faculty member for undergraduate science—owning course design, development, and quality—across biology, chemistry, physics, geology, etc. (intro through advanced topics). You’ll craft an engaging, rigorous, and fun science learning experience for students while setting the standard for science teaching in the AI era. You’ll bring the depth of an academic and the instincts of a builder. That means leveraging AI and modern tooling to design high-quality curriculum, virtual labs, and assessments at scale—and collaborating closely with learning designers, product, and engineering to bring it to fruition.

Qualifications

• Degree in a core science field (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology) or Science Education; PhD or EdD preferred
• 3+ years teaching or leading curriculum in undergraduate science (online or hybrid experience a plus)
• Proven fluency with education technology and AI
• Track record of cross-functional collaboration with designers/engineers and shipping learner-centric features

What You'll Do

• Own the science curriculum: Design and develop courses across biology, chemistry, physics, and geology (intro → advanced) with clear learning outcomes and mastery-based progress
• Design assessments (formative & summative)
• Leverage AI & tooling to create interactive content (e.g., a virtual science lab) that improves engagement and efficacy
• Collaborate with Learning Design, Product, and Engineering to ship high-quality, technology-enabled science experiences (simulations, visualizations, notebooks)
• Support accreditation & quality: Align syllabi, policies, credit hours, and outcomes with institutional standards; contribute evidence for reviews and continuous improvement
