The Department of Biology at Temple University invites applications for tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor level in two areas. Computational Biology (this ad) and Microbial Biology (see Temple Biology Academic Jobs #23229). Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to, theoretical, computational and big data science approaches to genomics, complex systems, phylodynamics, phylomedicine, structuromics, bioinformatics and/or machine learning.
We seek candidates who combine cutting-edge approaches (analytical, theoretical, genomic, and/or computational) to address interdisciplinary questions that build synergies with existing departmental strengths.
The Department of Biology and the associated Institutes and Centers (Institute for Genomic & Evolutionary Medicine, Center for Computational Genetics & Genomics, Center for Viral Evolution, Center for Biodiversity, and High-Performance-Computing initiative) are home to broad, collaborative research initiatives with expertise in in genomics, evolutionary genetics, evolutionary medicine, population/community ecology, global change biology, and developmental biology.
A Ph.D. or equivalent degree is the minimum required criterion. The successful candidates will demonstrate track records of research excellence, originality, and productivity; the ability to secure extramural funding for their research. They should have a commitment towards undergraduate and graduate teaching and mentorship; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and dedication to public outreach and engagement. |
