DESCRIPTION

The Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID) and the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics (BMI) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seek a tenure track assistant/associate/full professor whose research focuses on machine learning, or related areas of data science, to start in Fall 2019. We seek candidates with experience or a demonstrated interest in both machine learning algorithm development and collaborative applications of machine learning to biological problems, especially motivating methodological research through biological, clinical, and/or public health sciences applications.

The Wisconsin Institute for Discovery provides a vibrant environment for interdisciplinary research. The Institute is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of fields to foster discovery and offers its researchers many opportunities and support for collaborative work with other Institute scientists and the rest of the UW-Madison campus.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a world-class academic institution with an international reputation for basic, applied, and interdisciplinary research. UW- Madison regularly ranks in the top 10 or 12 among U.S. public universities, and regularly surpasses $1 billion in annual research expenditures. Madison provides a vibrant, culturally rich environment highly ranked in national surveys for quality of life. The BMI Department also provides an exceptional environment for academic activity and interdisciplinary collaboration. 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 most of its PhD students have traditionally been trained. BMI is also home to a new PhD program in Biomedical Data Science.
