Open Rank Tenure/Tenure Track Biomedical Data Science

University of Virginia

 

The University of Virginia (UVA) seeks exceptional applicants for tenure-track or tenured faculty appointments in the broad area of Biomedical Data Science. Primary appointments will be in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), including Computer Science, or in the School of Medicine (SOM); secondary appointments are available in departments associated with SEAS, SOM and the Data Science Institute (DSI). Candidates are expected to build and sustain rapidly-growing, highly-visible research programs at the confluence of any area of Biomedicine and Data Science. Candidates with strong backgrounds in areas of data science such as: machine learning; data visualization; data integration and engineering; data acquisition and dissemination; and data ethics, law, policy and social implications are encouraged to apply. Candidates also must have expertise in one or more areas of bioscience including, but not limited to: omics technologies, imaging, large scale and predictive modeling, precision medicine, immunology or neuroscience.

UVA is proud to have a strong culture of collaboration and collegiality and is committed to creating collaborative and diverse environments necessary to solve the next generation of research challenges. Successful candidates will help build bridges and be engaged in cross-disciplinary research between SEAS, SOM and DSI; teach and advise students at the undergraduate and graduate levels; and perform service to the institution and the profession, locally, nationally and internationally. Rank is contingent upon experience.

A Ph.D. and/or M.D. in a relevant field is required. A commitment to teaching excellence is essential, as is evidence of an explicit commitment to diversity and of advancing understanding and outcomes for underrepresented groups. An established or potential high-impact publication record, accompanied by potential for extramural funding in the areas of interest outlined above, are required. For an appointment with tenure, the applicant must have a rapidly emerging or established national reputation, a documented line of research related to the areas of interest outlined above, and a track record of existing and sustained extramural funding.

To apply, visit jobs.virginia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=86232.

Complete a Candidate Profile online and attach a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, statement of research interest, and contact information for at least three references.

Applicant review will begin February 2018.

The positions remain open to candidates until filled.
