Job Description:
The School of Biomedical Informatics (SBMI) at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) is excited to announce a minimum of four tenure-track faculty positions associated with the newly proposed Center for Precision Health. This funding has been designated by the Texas Legislature to enhance biomedical and health informatics education and research in the State of Texas in the big data and precision medicine era. We are seeking candidates with experience and interests in emerging approaches to disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment through detecting, measuring, and analyzing individual variations in molecular, genomic, cellular, clinical, imaging, behavioral, physiological, and environmental data. These approaches may include: - Translational bioinformatics, with an emphasis on utilizing bioinformatics theories, methods, and tools to address clinical and health problems at the individual and population levels; - Data science, with a focus on integrating, mining, and using heterogeneous big datasets from multiple sources (e.g., clinical, genomic, imaging, pharmacological, behavioral, social, population, and environmental) to address challenging problems in patient care, health prevention, and biomedical discovery; and - Mobile health, with an emphasis on collecting, processing, and analyzing data from mobile devices and integrating them with other data sources to address human health challenges. Successful applicants will join a dynamic SBMI faculty focused on research, education, and the practical application of informatics. Additional Summary Specific to Job UTHealth is located within the world's largest medical complex, the Texas Medical Center (TMC), in Houston, Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States. SBMI is a freestanding school and one of the largest graduate level biomedical informatics programs in the nation. RESPONSIBILITIES: Successful candidates will be expected to conduct research, participate in graduate level teaching activities, and provide service at the school, university, regional, national, and international levels. Collaborative research with other SBMI faculty and across UTHealth and the Texas Medical Center is expected. SALARY: Competitive and dependent upon qualifications and experience. APPOINTMENT/BENEFITS: All positions are 12-month, full-time appointments in the tenure track. Departmental Requirements/Preferences QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in biomedical informatics, computational biology, biostatistics, public health informatics, imaging science, computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, with demonstrated experience/expertise in informatics, or an MD (or equivalent) with demonstrated training and experience in informatics. For Center faculty applicants at the full professor and associate professor levels, a strong track record of teaching at the graduate level, extramural funding, and published research is required. For applicants at the assistant professor level, a strong record of research publications and the potential to obtain extramural funding are required. All interested parties must provide a current curriculum vitae; contact information for three references that includes name, title, institutional affiliation, a phone number, and an e-mail address; teaching and research statements; and a cover letter describing qualifications and career goals. Application materials must be submitted online.
