Responsibilities will include training graduate students,teaching one BMI course per year, and participating in professional, university, and community service appropriate to rank.
The successful candidate will join the BMI Department, home to faculty with expertise in bioinformatics; clinical informatics; image analysis; biostatistics; and statistical genetics and genomics. Faculty collaborate with scientists across UW and the state, including MIR, the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, the Carbone Cancer Center, and the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation. The Department maintains strong ties to the world-class Departments of Computer Sciences, Statistics, and Industrial & Systems Engineering, through which many of its graduate students are trained.
Simultaneously, the successful candidate will join an energetic team of investigators in the Virology Focus Area of MIR, which is furthering understanding and control of viruses and their roles in human disease. The interdisciplinary environment of MIR provides an exciting context for quantitative methodological, computational, and theoretical advances expected of a tenured or tenure track professor in BMI.
