Faculty Position in Bioinformatics
 
Candidates are invited to apply for a faculty position in the Department of
Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Texas Health Science
Center at San Antonio (http://deb.uthscsa.edu/index.html) in the area of
bioinformatics. A tenure-track position is available at the rank of
assistant/associate/full professor level in biostatistics/bioinformatics.
 
This position is related to a major new joint multi-disciplinary
bioinformatics and computational biology initiative involving the University
of Texas Health Science Center, and the University of Texas San Antonio
(http://www.cbi.utsa.edu/about) <http://www.cbi.utsa.edu/about)> . Based in
a new computational biology facility, the initiative provides both technical
staff as well as substantial computational resources to establish and
nurture collaborations between biologists and quantitative scientists in
projects ranging from biological data analysis to system modeling and
simulation.   
 
Duties include conducting methodological and applied statistical research in
bioinformatics.  As the initiative also includes a substantial effort at the
level of undergraduate and graduate education, duties will also include
curriculum development and teaching. Candidates will be expected to
participate in the development of interdisciplinary programs and grant
initiatives in bioinformatics, and collaborative investigations with
investigators in medical, translational and basic science application areas;
e.g., microarray analyses, data mining, gene networks, etc.
 
Requirements are that applicants hold a PhD or equivalent in biostatistics,
mathematical statistics, bioinformatics, or a closely related discipline.
Candidates at the assistant professor level need to have at least one year
of postdoctoral training and research in bioinformatics.  For an
associate/full professor, we seek candidates with nationally recognized
scholarly accomplishments in bioinformatics, including methodological and
collaborative research. A background of extramural funding is valued, as is
experience in teaching and graduate mentorship.
 
The selected candidate is expected to strengthen the translational research
ties between the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the
Childrenąs Cancer Research Institute, the San Antonio Cancer Institute, the
Research Imaging Center and the Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging
Studies as well as participate in the University of Texas Health Science
Center at San Antonio ­ University of Texas San Antonio Bioinformatics /
Computational Biology Program, and the newly established Department of
Defense funded National Center for Targeted Therapeutics.
 
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, at least three letters of
reference, and a letter describing their background, research interests, and
relevant experience to:
 
Brad Pollock, MPH, PhD
Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics
University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
7703 Floyd Curl, MC 7933
San Antonio, Texas 78229
 
Applications will be considered until the position is filled. The University
of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is an Equal Employment
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All faculty appointments are
designated as security sensitive positions.
