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. Appointment will be made on merit and all applicants will be scored against the same criteria.


Further information on our great benefits package, including 44 days annual leave inclusive of Bank Holidays and additional University Customary days (pro rata for part-time), can be found on our benefits page.


Closing date: 5 January 2026

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
