Shortlist Add to shortlist ApplyThe University of Central Florida (UCF) is hiring 100 new faculty members to join us in the fall of 2016. As part of this hiring campaign, UCF recently established six interdisciplinary clusters to strengthen its academic and research missions. We are building a new Genomics and Bioinformatics Cluster (http://www.ucf.edu/research/genomics) by the fall of 2017 and we seek to hire a cluster lead to start in the fall of 2016 at the level of either Associate or Full Professor. The cluster lead will immediately participate in the recruitment of four additional cluster members. An ideal cluster lead will have a strong background in genome biology and computational approaches used to analyze large genetic data sets. The cluster lead should have demonstrable leadership experience, preferably with multidisciplinary teams. All cluster members will be expected to function collaboratively in methodology, but research topics are encouraged to be interdisciplinary and cover areas including health and disease, biodiversity, evolution, or computer science.
The Genomics and Bioinformatics cluster members will be expected to have research programs that strengthen their tenure homes as well as the cluster. The new leader can join any host department - Biomedical Sciences (College of Medicine), Biology (College of Sciences), or Computer Science (College of Engineering & Computer Science); or be jointly appointed among them as appropriate to qualifications and interest. Candidates should have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. and be an established leader in their field. Candidates must apply online at http://www.jobswithucf.com/postings/43545 (Position #38533) 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, their leadership experience, and should identify the anticipated department(s) for their potential tenure home.
The search committee will begin reviewing applications in November of 2015 and continue to accept applications until April of 2016.
