Coding and creation of a Generative AI API tool, along with creation of an appropriate prompt, as detailed further in the Notes for Worker above.

The Professional Law Institute (part of the Dickson Poon School of Law) is looking for a research assistant who can code a Generative AI API tool. The coding is likely to be Python coding. This is to trial whether Generative AI can provide appropriate, and useful feedback, on a formative assessment for the Land Law module on the MSc in Law and Professional Practice course (which is a post-graduate course for non-law students). 

We need a tool that allows us to upload a Suggested Answer to the formative, which is then kept hidden behind a ?wall? from students (so we do not want them to have access to this Suggested Answer). The students will then upload their own formative answer to the AI tool and then the tool will be asked (through use of a structured prompt) to compare their answer to the Suggested Answer, give the students feedback (for instance where their answer is weaker than the Suggested Answer) and then engage in a dialogue with the students pushing them to improve their work. So we need the tool produced to do this, and we also need help with the structured prompt to be used for the students to input into the tool. Pedagogically, we do not want students being given ?model? answers and this tool means that the Suggested Answer remains undisclosed. 

Ideally this tool would be integrated into KEATS, but, if not possible, then this can sit on a separate website.



Qualifications

We are looking for a student from the Department of Informatics, for example, a masters? level student in Computing or Artificial Intelligence, although a 3rd year undergraduate student in Computer Sciences or Artificial Intelligence would also be considered.



Skills

Coding skills, and experience with Generative AI tools and applications. Good understanding of prompt engineering.

Graduate Teaching Assistant in the School of Global Affairs. Your Module Convenor (Michael Flavin) will be your Line Manager, if you have any queries or questions, please make your enquiry with them first. If you have any other query regarding your employment, please email pgla@kcl.ac.uk. Responsibilities may include: 

Attending 10 weekly webinars and/or in-person sessions in either term 1 or 2 to assist the module convenor  

Marking UG and/or PGT assessments under supervision of module leaders or other appropriate academic staff 

Attending four in-person lectures in term 2 

Maintenance of information and resources on KEATS and interaction with students via the Virtual Learning Environment  

Working alongside the module convenor and administrator to resolve any issues related to teaching or marking, including providing students with feedback and guidance via e-mail where needed. 

Participation in appropriate training, including mandatory courses/sessions (e.g. courses, induction sessions 

Variation will exist across academic departments and disciplines in relation to specific requirements of GTAs. Roles and responsibilities may also be subject to change. If you are required to complete additional marking, these hours will be added to your assignment and your hours and contract length will be changed accordingly with your agreement after you have started. GTAs will not be expected to: 

Lead lectures, unless they have accepted to do so on a very occasional basis, in their specialist field 

Provide pastoral support to students or act as a personal tutor 

Be involved in Open Days or admissions activities 

Provide students with references 

Set assessments 

Be available to students at all times 

Carry out unremunerated additional work on an ad hoc basis  

Mandatory training: all mandatory training (specific to the delivery of teaching, rather than generic training which all PhD students should already be undertaking as part of their studies) will be remunerated. Under the new model, all GTAs will receive 6 hours of remunerated training for every academic year in which they teach at King's, regardless of whether they have taught before or not. It is envisaged that this would constitute 6 hours of jointly delivered training with King's Academy and academic departments. Some faculties may decide that they wish to include more mandatory training and to pay their GTAs for this. It is also up to departments and faculties to work with King's Academy to decide what constitutes mandatory training, which element of this can be delivered online, and what constitutes professional development training for all PGRs. You should be informed by your GTA Lead (https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/mod/book/view.php?id=2554510&chapterid=186267) about mandatory training. You can also visit the King's Academy GTA Development page (https://internal.kcl.ac.uk/kingsacademy/professional-development-and-recognition/gta-development-programme) for more information, resources and additional workshops that are available to you as a GTA.
