Biology: Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Bioinformatics to begin August 2018 to teach at the graduate and undergraduate levels, advise students, maintain an active externally funded research program, and provide service to the institution. Teaching responsibilities may include courses in general biology, programming for the life sciences, and a new bioinformatics or genomics course for a future bioinformatics major. The departmental home of this position (Biology or Microbiology) will depend on the specific research expertise of the successful candidate.
Required: Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, biology, microbiology, or a related field by date of appointment.
Consideration may be given to candidates who study computational biology and genomics, proteomics or metabolomics to infer how variation in gene sequences and epigenetic status translates into the functional expression of traits; those with postdoctoral experience; teaching experience; or developing an externally funded research program.
Submit letter of interest, curriculum vitae, statement of research plans and teaching philosophy to miamioh.hiretouch.com/job-details?jobID=4987. For inquiries about posting, contact Paul James at jamespf@miamioh.edu. Screening of applications will begin November 27, 2017 and will continue until the position is filled.
