Location: Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Information and Discovery, Old Road Campus, Oxford OX3 7LF

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the research group of Professor Christopher Yau (http://cwcyau.github.io) at the Big Data Institute, University of Oxford. This post will contribute to the development of a new simulation-based pre-training framework for building more robust and trustworthy machine learning-based clinical prediction models.

Funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the project aims to advance artificial intelligence (AI) methods that improve the reliability of clinical prediction models when faced with data drift, bias, and fairness challenges. The research will involve developing deep learning and synthetic data generation approaches and applying them to exemplar studies in ovarian cancer prognosis, COVID-19 prediction, and childhood mental health.

You will have (or be close to completing) a PhD in a quantitative discipline such as computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering, or a related field. Strong programming skills and experience in machine learning or statistical modelling are essential. Experience with healthcare data, algorithmic fairness, or deep learning for biomedical data will be advantageous. The successful candidate will contribute to high-impact publications, open-source software development, and training materials.

This position is full-time and fixed-term for 30 months. This post is available from January 2026 and must end by 30 November 2028.

Applications for flexible working arrangements are welcomed and will be considered in line with business needs.

You will be required to upload a CV and Supporting Statement as part of your online application. Click here for information and advice on writing an effective Supporting Statement: https://www.jobs.ox.ac.uk/cv-and-supporting-statement.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 24th November 2025. Interviews are expected to take place on Wednesday 10th December 2025.

£39,424 to £49,119 per annum. Research Grade 7

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
