Job Description:
As part of the GBC, we are currently seeking to hire four tenure-earning assistant professors; however, exceptionally well-qualified individuals will be considered at the rank of tenured associate or full professor. Candidates must have a strong research publication record and demonstrated independent research, with either existing research funding, or strong potential to initiate and obtain funding for their research program. The GBC emphasizes multi-disciplinary research in genomics that cover at least two disciplines among biology, biomedical sciences, and computer science. In particular, the GBC is looking to expand research programs in genomics that are enabled by next-generation sequencing technologies and that address one or more areas among molecular evolution, biodiversity, microbiome research (environmental and plant/animal health), new biological model systems, cancer genetics, infectious diseases, computational biology, systems biology, machine learning and data mining. Strong candidates in other areas of genomics will also be considered. The GBC members will be expected to strengthen their individual tenure homes as well as the cluster. A strong advantage of this position is the ability of the candidate to choose a tenure home, with mutual consent, among units involved in the cluster. The list of host departments includes Biomedical Sciences (College of Medicine), Biology (College of Sciences), or Computer Science (College of Engineering and Computer Science). A candidate may also be jointly appointed among these as appropriate to qualifications and interest. All GBC faculty members (and their students) will be housed jointly to facilitate collaboration. Position Minimum Qualifications : Candidates must have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. from an accredited institution in an area appropriate to the cluster at the time of appointment. Preferences: Strongly preferred: -Postdoctoral research training experience. -A strong research publication record and demonstrated independent research, with either existing research funding, or strong potential to initiate and obtain funding for their research program.

The University of Central Florida (UCF) has recently established six interdisciplinary clusters to strengthen its academic and research missions. We are building a new Genomics and Bioinformatics Cluster (GBC) (http://www.ucf.edu/research/genomics), staffing for which should be completed by Fall 2017. The University of Central Florida is the nation’s second-largest university with more than 63,000 students. UCF has grown substantially in size, quality, diversity, and reputation in its first 50 years. Today, the university offers more than 200 degree programs at its main campus in Orlando and more than a dozen satellite locations. UCF is an economic engine, attracting and supporting industries vital to the region’s future while providing students with real-world experiences that help them succeed after graduation. For more information, visit http://www.ucf.edu/faculty/. Additional Application Materials Required: Candidates must apply online at www.jobswithucf.com and provide the following materials: a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, and contact information for three professional references. In the cover letter, candidates should address their background in genomics and/or bioinformatics and identify the anticipated department(s) for their potential tenure home. In the research statement candidates should include descriptions of their successful interdisciplinary research collaborations and how their current and future research can contribute to the cluster’s overall interdisciplinary objectives. Note: Please have all documents ready when applying so they can be attached at that time. Once the online submission process is finalized, the system does not allow applicants to submit additional documents at a later date. The search committee will begin reviewing applications in November 2016 and continue until the positions are filled. For more information about these positions, please contact Shibu Yooseph at GenomicsCluster@ucf.edu. UCF is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
