Job Description:
Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) is seeking multiple outstanding bioinformaticics tenure track faculty members to foster collaborative research with statewide, state-supported partners in academia and industry. This cluster of faculty recruitment is headed by the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CCBB) in the IUSM, in collaboration with academic departments including Medical and Molecular Genetics, Biostatistics, and Pediatrics. These positions will also be supported by the Indiana University Melvin & Bren Simon Cancer Center, Indiana Institute of Personalized Medicine, and Regenstrief Institute.
Qualifications:
Candidates for the faculty positions in the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics should demonstrate outstanding research experience and possess an MD and/or PhD. This position includes an appointment as a full-time faculty at a rank appropriate with experience. The recruitment package will be commensurate with the outstanding opportunity this represents. We are particularly interested in bioinformatic research areas, such as precision medicine (both cancer and non-cancer), clinical trial design, system biology and system pharmacology, and translational biomedical informatics.
Indiana University is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, disabled and veterans.
Research Environment Highlights
Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CCBB) has 14 full faculty members from IUSM and Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing (SOIC). It has a very vibrant and collegial environment in research, collaboration, and training. Current CCBB faculty research expertise covers genomics, proteomics, system biology and pharmacology, and structural biology. Faculty are mentoring Ph.D. and masters (MS) level graduate students from IUSM, SOIC, School of Public Health (SPH), and School of Science (SOS).
Department of Biostatistics currently has 18 faculty members and 23 full-time PhD students. The department is dedicated to excellence in statistical and collaborative research in the health sciences and teaching. The Department has MS and PhD programs in Biostatistics. Statistical expertise in bioinformatics research is a priority.
Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics (MMGE) has 23 faculty members and 38 full time PhD and MS students. It has four Divisions: Clinical and Biochemical Genetics, Diagnostic Genomics, Hereditary Genomics and Molecular Genetics & Gene Therapy. MMGE is leading genomic research at IUSM, and its growing bioinformatics research and collaboration portfolio is a strength of the department.
Department of Pediatrics is embedded in the Riley Children Hospital, which ranks among the top 5 children’s hospitals national wide. The department has well recognized excellence in multiple basic science and clinical research fields, including oncology/hematology, cardiology, and endocrinology. The department has established its own translational clinical research center. Bioinformatics is the key area that will strengthen translational research in the Department of Pediatrics.
Regenestrief Institute The Regenstrief Institute is an internationally respected informatics and healthcare research organization, recognized for its role in improving quality of care, increasing efficiency of healthcare delivery, preventing medical errors and enhancing patient safety. Established by philanthropist Sam Regenstrief on the Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis campus in 1969, the Institute is a 501(c)(3) organization closely associated with the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County, Indiana’s Wishard-Eskenazi Health. We envision a highly synergistic interaction between biomedical informatics and bioinformatics.
Indiana University Simon Cancer Center (NCI-designated) The Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center is a patient care, research, and educational organization within the Indiana University School of Medicine, located on the school’s main campus in Indianapolis. The IU Simon Cancer Center research physicians and scientists include more than 200 investigators who conduct research in the areas of Experimental and Development Therapeutics (EDT), Breast Cancer (BC), Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC), and Hematopoiesis, Hematologic Malignancies (HHMI), and Immunology, and Tumor Microenvironment and Metastasis (TMM). In addition, IU Simon Cancer Center physicians lead 300 clinical trials for pediatric and adult cancers. IU Simon Cancer Center established the Indiana Cancer Consortium in collaboration with the American Cancer Society-Great Lakes Division and the Indiana State Department of Health. This statewide network is dedicated to reducing the cancer burden in Indiana through the implementation of a cancer control plan. In particular, the precision medicine program funded by the Vera Bradley foundation is seeking cutting edge bioinformatics expertise to develop novel triple negative breast cancer treatment.
Indiana Institute for Personalized Medicine The Indiana Institute for Personalized Medicine explores how genetic information and environmental exposure affect each person's risk to develop certain diseases and response to medication. The Institute examines how this new model of genome-informed personalized healthcare may be translated in clinical settings to advance the practice, delivery and economics of health care. While personalized medicine is transforming the health system as we know it, we are bridging the gap between genomics research and patient care, in which Bioinformatics expertise is in demand. The applicants shall self-identify which department is most appropriate for their primary appointment. The potential choices include the Departments of Biostatistics, Medical and Molecular Genetics, or Pediatrics. The search and screen committee will begin reviewing applications as they are received and applications will be considered until an appointment is made.
