Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer in Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (2 Posts)


Ref: ATR1731


Salary on appointment will be £58,225 per annum, with an annual increment up to £67,468 per annum.


The Norwich Medical School is looking to appoint two Associate Professors/Senior Lecturers in Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data science on our Academic Teaching and Research (ATR) pathway. You will be involved in research and innovation, and in the development and delivery of teaching. We are particularly interested in candidates that may be able to contribute to expanding our research and teaching portfolio in areas of growth such as Artificial Intelligence within the medicine and healthcare sector, and areas of excellence including data science.


You will be expected to have a strong recent track record of attracting research funding from government or industry in areas linked to AI, data science or related domains, particularly in application to medicine and health sciences, and will also have a strong portfolio of recent research publications in prestigious international journals. It is also desirable that you have an extensive network of national and international collaborators from academia, government and industry.


A PhD (or equivalent qualification) in a relevant subject area with proven experience of high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching is essential. 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.


As part of the wider UEA and Norwich Research Park ecosystem, the School enjoys close collaborations with School of Computing Science and the School of Health Sciences as well as the NNUH which is one of the UK’s largest hospitals with over 60 specialist services in situ. The wider Norwich Research Park is one of the world’s largest concentrations of research institutions in biological sciences with medical technology as one of the key fields of research.


These full‑time posts are available on an indefinite basis.


We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive. We particularly welcome applicants with the protected characteristics of disability, race (Black, Asian and minority ethnic), and sex (female), for this post, as they are currently underrepresented at this level within the School.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
