BACKGROUND

The Department of Biostatistics & Medical Informatics (BMI) at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine & Public Health (SMPH) is seeking tenure track assistant, associate, and full professors starting around July 2017.

A key consideration is the ability and interest to work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Successful candidates will maintain superb research programs that ideally involve applications to high throughput biological experiments, genetics and genomics, precision medicine, clinical trials, population health research or health services research, and/or the improvement of clinical care. It is expected that the candidate will attract and maintain external funding to support his/her program, and will collaborate with scientists at UW-Madison, either in the SMPH and/or across campus, and/or its partner institutions. Additional responsibilities will include training graduate students, teaching, and participating in professional, university, and community service appropriate to rank.

REQUIREMENTS

Candidates should have a doctoral degree (PhD, ScD, or equivalent) in Biostatistics, Statistics, or a closely related quantitative area. Key areas of interest include clinical and population health biostatistics, and statistical genetics and genomics.

BMI faculty collaborate with scientists across UW and the state, including the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, the UW Carbone Cancer Center, the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, and the Morgridge Institute for Research. BMI maintains strong ties to the world-class Departments of Computer Sciences and of Statistics, through which many of its graduate students are trained. BMI is home to a Center for Predictive Computational Phenotyping, funded under the NIH "Big Data to Knowledge" initiative.

HOW TO APPLY

To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by November 15, 2016, although late applications may be accepted. Candidates should submit their applications through the UW employment website: http://www.ohr.wisc.edu/Weblisting/External/PVLSummaryApply.aspx?pvl_num=87874. To aid in applicant screening, please indicate primary area of interest as either "clinical and population health biostatistics", or "statistical genetics and genomics" in cover letter.
