You will be involved in research and innovation, and in the development and delivery of teaching.

This includes experience of teaching and research in Artificial Intelligence and its application to Medicine and Healthcare, ideally with a research focus in areas such as machine learning, medical image analysis, clinical natural language processing, or AI for precision medicine. The successful candidate will contribute to developing and delivering innovative interdisciplinary teaching at the interface of computing and health sciences, and to advancing research that translates AI innovations into clinical impact, therefore experience in module development in this area would be desirable.


You may have evidence of leadership of course development and the use of a range of both innovative and traditional pedagogical practices. Experience of PhD supervision is essential.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
