Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Computational Biology

The Department of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics (B&B) and the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) at Duke University are seeking candidates for tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level. Candidates are expected to have a PhD or equivalent degree in a quantitative discipline (computational or systems biology, statistics, computer science, engineering, physics or similar). We invite applications from researchers with an established track record in developing and applying computational approaches to cutting-edge problems in genomics and genetics, with a demonstrated interest in collaborative research.

Successful candidates will have their academic home in the Department of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics and will be Investigators in the cross-campus IGSP, which is home to several established research initiatives, including systems biology, genomic medicine, and regulatory and evolutionary genomics. Secondary appointments or affiliations may be arranged in other departments or centers, as appropriate. The collaborative nature of these positions will provide successful candidates with access to exceptional resources, including substantial cluster computing infrastructure, multiple next generation sequencing platforms, a diverse set of large biomedical datasets and multidisciplinary partnerships. Candidates will be expected to participate actively in the educational programs of both B&B and IGSP, as well as teach and mentor students in the cross-departmental graduate program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.

Interested applicants should submit application materials (cover letter, CV, and a statement of research accomplishments and interests) and ask three referees to submit reference letters at http://www.academicjobsonline.com. Further inquiries may be directed to Kim Hall at kim.hall@duke.edu. Applications received by October 31, 2010 will be given full consideration.
