Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences

Norwich Medical School

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

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
