Research Associate Professors – Biomedical Informatics #PED184

The University of Chicago's Department of Pediatrics, Section of Biomedical Informatics, seeks Research Associate Professors to serve as leaders in the development and oversight of a new research infrastructure within the Department. The Department is currently expanding its research programs in Biomedical Informatics; this infrastructure will enable cutting-edge biomedical research and will seamlessly integrate data-driven solutions into pediatric medicine, ensuring the delivery of personalized, precise, and efficient care for every child. The appointees will have responsibilities in the areas of grant preparation and budgeting, serving as primary mentors to postdocs and students, designing and performing research processes, analyzing results, and developing publications. Compensation (including a generous package of fringe benefits) is dependent upon qualifications.

The appointees will join a vibrant center of scientific discovery and innovation. Opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration are abundant, both within and outside the Biological Sciences Division. The Biological Sciences Division, other academic units of the University of Chicago, and UChicago Medicine, are all contained within one compact campus in Chicago’s Hyde Park. The primary appointment will be in the Department of Pediatrics although we anticipate that the appointee will develop close interactions with other departments, divisions, and institutes at the University of Chicago.

Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must have a doctoral degree or equivalent. We especially welcome applicants with an extensive background in the development and application of advanced computational techniques to biomedicine, particularly the application of machine learning and statistical inference techniques to high-throughput molecular assays.

To be considered, those interested must apply through the University of Chicago’s Academic Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept applications: https://apply.interfolio.com/148172 . Applicants must upload a CV including bibliography. Review of complete applications will begin after August 2, 2024.
