The School of Data Science & Business Intelligence (SDBI) is seeking a Visiting Faculty member to teach Behavioural Economics and Decision Making to second-year undergraduate students in the B.Sc. Data Science program.

- Design assignments, quizzes, and group activities that promote analytical and critical thinking.
