Listing Info The University of Cincinnati Department of Biomedical Informatics seeks candidates for Assistant and Associate Professor positions in the tenure and research tracks, to be based at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). We are seeking candidates with expertise in areas such as computational biology, statistical bioinformatics, statistical genetics, genome-enabled medicine, and/or systems biomedicine. Possible methodological research projects include, but are not limited to, developing statistical/computational methods for integrated analysis of genomic data, analysis of next-generation sequencing and RNA-seq data, pathway- and genetic network-based analysis, rare variant analysis of complex disorders, discovery of genetic interactions in genome-wide studies, and developing innovative genome analysis methods and software. Responsibilities include establishing an independent research program in methodological and collaborative research focused on pediatric medicine, actively participating in the Department’s educational mission and graduate programs, and synergizing with the Department’s bioinformatics support services. Opportunities for informatics research in lifespan and adult medicine exist through CCHMC’s strong collaborative relationship with the University of Cincinnati’s College of Medicine. CCHMC is one of the largest children’s hospitals in the nation and ranks at the top of pediatric medical centers globally for external funding and research accomplishments. The Department has strong ties with world-class biostatistics, bioinformatics, systems biology, and developmental biology groups at Cincinnati Children’s and the University of Cincinnati. This environment provides rich collaborative opportunities in molecular study design, statistical genetic analysis, genetic epidemiology, genomics, personalized medicine, epigenetics, and biomedical informatics. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. in life or data sciences or a related field. A demonstrated record of high-quality peer-reviewed publications and the ability to successfully compete for grant funding are essential. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in grant development and execution and management as a scientific investigator; creativity, independence, and high motivation; experience in managing professional research staff in a research environment; excellent project management and communications skills; and proven ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
