The successful applicant will be expected to establish a portfolio of clinical imaging research projects which have a significant component of AI, ML or image analysis methods within them. Integration of imaging data with other data sources - such as clinical data, tissue, or liquid biomarkers - will be used to better stratify disease and predict or detect response to treatment. 

The applicant will be clinically qualified, specialised in radiology or nuclear medicine, who has undertaken significant research in the areas of AI, ML, or image analysis and is currently working actively in a clinical imaging environment. The appointee will have a strong track record in these areas and a growing reputation as a leader in the field.
