The University of Chicago\'s Department of Human Genetics in the
Biological Sciences Division seeks faculty candidates. Rank and tenure
status will be commensurate with qualifications.
The Department has broad research interests and existing strengths in
the genetics of complex traits and common diseases, statistical and
population genetics, and functional genomics of human disease. In this
search, we seek scientists that would strengthen and complement our
current research in computational biology, statistical genetics, or
population genetics. We especially welcome applications from candidates
who develop and apply probabilistic machine learning tools to understand
topics related to complex diseases, such as gene regulation, gene
regulatory networks, and the interplay of genetic and non-genetic
factors. Competitive start-up funds and generous research space,
including access to state-of-the-art core facilities, will be available,
as well as graduate students affiliated with numerous degree-granting
programs within the biological and physical sciences.
The University is a vibrant center of scientific discovery and
innovation. The Biological Sciences Division, Physical Sciences
Division, and the University of Chicago Medical Center, are all
contained within one compact campus in Chicago\'s Hyde Park
neighborhood. This structure facilitates opportunities for
multidisciplinary collaboration, notably in the context of two newly
launched programs in Computational Biology and (Epi)genomic
Networks[CO1] , as well as for interactions with our affiliates,
Argonne National Laboratory and the Marine Biological Laboratory.
Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must have a
doctoral degree or equivalent. To be considered, those interested must
apply through the University of Chicago\'s Academic Recruitment job
board, which uses Interfolio to accept applications:
http://apply.interfolio.com/127605
Applicants must upload a CV including bibliography, cover letter,
contact information for 3 references, a research statement, and a
teaching statement (which may also include the candidate\'s experience
in teaching diverse students). The research statement should summarize
past research accomplishments and future research plans.
Review of complete applications will continue until the positions are
filled.
