A New Chapter at York St John University

At York St John University, we’re proud of our heritage and excited about the future. Located in the vibrant and historic city of York, our university has rapidly grown into one of the UK’s most ambitious institutions. We’re guided by a bold vision: to open doors through education and create a more just and prosperous society.

Our new long-term strategy puts teaching excellence and meaningful research at its core, with a deep commitment to equity, innovation, and regional impact. This is your chance to be part of a dynamic academic community that’s shaping future talent and driving positive change.

About the Role

We’re seeking an energetic and forward-thinking academic to join our expanding Computer and Data Science team within the School of Science, Technology & Health.

You’ll play a key role in the development and delivery of our Data Science Degree Apprenticeship, working closely with learners and industry partners. Your expertise should align with one or more of the following areas:

  • Machine Learning
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Big Data Analytics
  • Cloud Computing

The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in a relevant discipline and bring a growing portfolio of academic research, ideally supported by peer-reviewed publications. While prior experience in industry is not essential, it will be considered an asset, particularly for those keen to bridge academic theory with real-world application.

What We’re Looking For

  • A doctorate in data science, computer science, or a closely related field
  • A strong interest in teaching and curriculum development, especially at degree apprenticeship level
  • Evidence of ongoing or emerging research activity
  • A collaborative, student-focused approach to academic life
  • Any relevant industry experience will be advantageous

Visa Sponsorship

This position is open to international applicants and qualifies for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship, subject to meeting UKVI eligibility criteria. We’re committed to welcoming global talent and supporting you through the application process.

How to Apply

Interested applicants are encouraged to reach out to Dr Julian Thompson for an informal conversation about the role. He can be contacted by email at J.Thompson4@yorksj.ac.uk.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview, which will include a short presentation as part of the assessment process.

Join us at York St John and take your academic career to the next level—while helping shape the future of data science education in the UK.
