About The Position

We invite applications for a Full-Time, Associate Professor, in the Tenure Stream, in the School of Medicine, in the Department of Computational and Systems Biology (CSB) at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine. We are seeking creative, productive, and collaborative colleagues to lead a research team using experimental or computational systems biology approaches to address fundamental biomedical questions and, where appropriate, facilitate translation towards clinical application. The successful candidate will have a minimum education level of Ph.D. degree or equivalent in Systems Biology, Computational Biology or in a related field and have completed a productive postdoctoral fellowship having published impactful work relevant for the fields of experimental or computational systems biology. One to three years of work experience preferred (inclusive of postdoctoral work) and demonstrated leadership in high-impact research, with interdisciplinary collaborations and multidisciplinary research accomplishments in one or more of the following areas: Biological Systems Modeling, Systems Genetics, or Molecular Mechanism and Therapeutics. While the position requires interest and accomplishments in computational and/or theoretical biomedical sciences, we would welcome candidates who combine 'dry' work with 'wet' experimental approaches. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to mentor students in multiple interdisciplinary graduate programs, including the Joint Carnegie Mellon University–University of Pittsburgh Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology, the Integrative Systems Biology Ph.D. program, and the Computational Biomedicine and Biotechnology Master's Program. We especially seek candidates who have a documented interest in mentoring and other activities to promote engagement and well-being of others.
