The University of Surrey is seeking to appoint an ambitious and internationally minded Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in AI and One Health Biomedical Data Sciences to help shape the next phase of research at our School.
This is an exciting opportunity for an established or emerging research leader working at the interface of artificial intelligence, data science, multi-source data integration (biomedical but also environmental and socio-economic data) and health, broadly defined across humans, animals and the environment. We are particularly interested in researchers whose work can address important challenges in human health, while also creating opportunities to translate methodologies and discoveries across veterinary and animal health within a broader One Health framework.
The successful candidate will join a School with an ambitious vision for the future of AI led research in healthcare. You will be expected to develop a strong PI-led research programme, attract significant external research funding and build collaborations across Surrey and beyond. The role provides considerable scope to develop research in human health providing an important primary focus while exploiting Surrey's distinctive veterinary and One Health environment. The appointed candidate will have the opportunity to work across disciplinary boundaries with researchers in medicine, veterinary medicine, health sciences, computer science, engineering, psychology, biosciences and other areas of the University.
