SUMMARY

The Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics seeks a data scientist in computational microbial genomics to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. This position is part of a larger university-wide research initiative in Data Science and Analytics.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The successful candidate will teach courses in bioinformatics and data mining at the graduate and undergraduate level, and will develop and maintain an externally funded research program. Examples of research programs of interest include, but are not limited to: (i) algorithm development for the analysis of large data sets generated from mixed microbial (metagenomic) communities from the external environment or associated with plants or animals; (ii) tracking development of antibiotic resistance or changes in microbial phenotype to the content of genes and genomes using next-generation sequencing; (iii) source tracking of pathogens across space and time in the external environment or within industrial, agricultural or hospital settings; (iv) utilizing microbial genomics for molecular epidemiological studies and precision medicine; (v) studies of microbial evolution and genomic structure; (vi) developing tools for visualization of microbial datasets; (vii) using computational tools to enhance agriculture and nutrition by manipulation of plant-associated microbes.

COMPENSATION

We offer a collegial environment with excellent wet laboratory and computational facilities and a competitive nine-month salary commensurate with experience.
