The Program in Bioinformatics and Integrative Biology invites applications for tenure-track or senior tenured professor positions. We are seeking innovative, energetic, and collaborative individuals who will develop strong computational research programs to tackle problems in one of the following areas: regulatory genomics, comparative genomics, systems biology, RNA biology, evolutionary biology, statistical genetics, or proteomics. Candidates in all computational biology areas, especially statisticians and computer scientists focused on biological questions, are strongly encouraged to apply. Wet bench research space can be arranged for individuals who are interested in performing experiments to augment their computational efforts. Salary and start-up package will be highly competitive and commensurate with the high level of accomplishment expected of successful applicants.

The Program in Bioinformatics and Integrative Biology is housed in the state-of-the-art Albert Sherman Center building, where it is part of a vibrant and collaborative research community that includes the Department of Systems Biology and the RNA Therapeutics Institute on the same floors. Our faculty collaborate closely with other departments including the Department of Molecular, Cell and Cancer Biology, Program in Molecular Medicine, and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biotechnology, which are housed in neighboring buildings. The Program is supported by high-performance computing facilities.

Applicants should submit a cover letter explaining their interest in the Program, a curriculum vitae that includes publications and honors, and a succinct research plan. To expedite the review process, applicants should invite three individuals who are familiar with your work and potential for success to upload recommendation letters at the same web address. Review of applications will continue until positions are filled. Inquiries, but not application materials, may be directed to Professor Zhiping Weng at zhiping.weng@umassmed.edu.
