Role

We use a combination of advanced live cell imaging microscopy approaches together with machine learning to understand and predict cell behaviour in heterogeneous populations, with a current focus on breast cancer cells and explant cultures. In this new project, funded by the Wellcome Trust, we will build on our existing CellPhe bioimage analysis tool to develop capability with more complex datasets from different imaging platforms. The successful candidate will benefit from a highly collaborative programme with international academic and industrial partners. The post holder will be expected to balance driving their independent research project alongside managing complex imaging datasets for a longitudinal project with a long-term view to research. They will also work closely with other lab members and researchers across the institute and take an active role in supervising students and developing potential new areas of research.

Skills, Experience & Qualification needed

The successful candidate will have a PhD (or be near completion) in a biomedical sciences discipline (preferred, not essential), or equivalent experience in cell biology and/or image analysis. Experience in cell/tissue culture and machine learning/coding techniques is desirable. Candidates with experience in using advanced microscopy, and/or experience in signal processing of data/programming scripts for data analysis are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate must have experience of carrying out both independent and collaborative research, writing up research work for publication and a willingness to contribute to the process of securing future research funding.

The post is full time on a fixed term basis of 18 months funded by the Wellcome Trust.

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.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.
