Senior Lecturer in Computer Science (Education and Research)

This new full-time post is available immediately on a permanent basis.

The role
We are seeking to appoint a new Senior Lecturer in Computer Science with a particular interest in Multimodal and Causal AI in Healthcare. Multimodal AI, which integrates diverse data types such as imaging, sensor data and clinical notes, is critical for creating comprehensive models of patient health and delivering more accurate, personalized care. Causal AI, with its focus on understanding causation through interventions and counterfactual reasoning, is essential for identifying the underlying factors that drive outcomes in clinical decision-making and patient treatment. By leveraging these advanced AI techniques, healthcare professionals can make more informed, evidence-based decisions that directly improve patient outcomes and optimize healthcare practices.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to both the research excellence and teaching quality, pushing the boundaries of Multimodal (e.g. VLM) and Causal AI applications in healthcare.

The post will include:

• Fulfilling research, teaching and administration duties as a senior lecturer in Computer Science.
• Developing and delivering captivating lectures and seminars on topics pertinent to Multimodal and Causal AI in Healthcare.
• Actively engaging in securing research income through grant applications and industry collaborations, advancing the department's research agenda in Multimodal and Causal AI in Healthcare.
• Publishing high-quality research findings in reputable journals and conference proceedings.
• You will be working within the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy.
