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.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

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

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

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

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
