Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer in Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (2 Posts) 

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.
