Docente TP Maestría en Ciencia de Datos e IA (Curso: Estructura de Datos)

About the Position

UTEC is seeking a Part-Time Lecturer for Data Structures course in Data Science and AI, focusing on algorithm complexity and data structures.

Responsibilities

• You will be responsible for teaching the Data Structures course, essential for developing efficient solutions in data science and artificial intelligence.
• Design, prepare, and update course materials aligned with the latest trends in data structures, algorithms, and their application in processing and analyzing large volumes of information.
• Evaluate student performance through practices, exams, projects, and case studies aimed at solving real-world problems of optimization and computational efficiency.
• Foster a deep understanding of linear and hierarchical structures, as well as algorithmic techniques for searching, sorting, and optimization applied to data science and artificial intelligence contexts.
• Guide the development of practical solutions focused on selecting and implementing appropriate data structures to reduce computational complexity and optimize performance in high-volume data scenarios.

Requirements

• Technical Knowledge:

  • Fundamentals of algorithms and complexity: Experience in analyzing time and space complexity, Big O notation, and algorithm optimization.
  • Linear data structures: Mastery of arrays, linked lists (single and double), stacks, and queues, with the ability to implement and apply them in practical contexts.
  • Advanced data structures: Deep knowledge of hash tables, trees (binary, AVL, B-Tree, B+Tree), graphs, heaps, and priority queues.
  • Search and sorting algorithms: Experience with efficient search algorithms (linear, binary) and sorting, as well as their complexity analysis and application in data processing.
  • Graph theory: Ability to explain and implement computational representations (adjacency matrices and lists), traversal algorithms (DFS, BFS), and shortest path algorithms (Dijkstra, A*, Floyd-Warshall).
  • Specialized data structures: Knowledge in spatial trees (Kd-Tree, R-Tree), similarity searches (KNN search, Range search), and their application in indexing large volumes of data.
  • Applications in Data Science: Ability to relate data structures with real applications in data science.

• Desirable:

  • Previous experience in postgraduate teaching.
  • Participation in data science or artificial intelligence projects involving algorithmic optimization and efficient handling of large data volumes.
  • Practical knowledge of implementing data structures in Python and other relevant programming languages.
  • Experience in applying data structures in machine learning, data mining, and recommendation systems.

We Offer

• Salary in line with the market.
• Discounts at over 200 establishments.
• Opportunity to learn and get involved in various UTEC projects.
