Position Announcement
The University of Oregon (UO) is seeking faculty to join our growing community of scholars working at the intersection of mathematics and computer science, with a focus on biomedical data science. The Departments of Mathematics (oregon.edu) and Computer and Information Science (oregon.edu), and the Data Science Program at UO, therefore announce a cluster hire of two tenure-related faculty positions at all levels. The positions have an expected start date of Fall 2022.
These hires are part of an integrated effort to strengthen research, scholarship, and teaching in data science at the University of Oregon (oregon.edu) through affiliation with the Center for Biomedical Data Science (CBDS) that is being launched jointly by the Knight Cancer Institute of Oregon Health & Science University (hsu.edu/knight-cancer-institute) and the new Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact at the University of Oregon (oregon.edu). The mission of CBDS is to enable collaborative research and scholarship that brings together cutting-edge data science approaches and -omics" technologies, with a particular goal of detecting cancer and other deadly diseases earlier, faster and better.
To support this goal, we are broadly interested in recruiting candidates who develop mathematical, statistical or computational methodology related to the analysis of data from complex biological systems, with particular interest in predictive modeling of cellular systems related to biomedical problems. Examples of these areas include, but are not limited to, statistical analysis of large data sets, machine learning/artificial intelligence-based study of cellular systems, systems biology and functional genetics, and dynamical systems in biology. Applicants working to integrate math and/or computer science in other areas related to biomedical data science are also encouraged to apply.
Both the Computer and Information Science Department and the Math Department are increasingly diverse groups and share with the university the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty committed to equity and inclusion.
Successful candidates will join our growing community in data science and will teach in a new university-wide major in data science at a level commensurate with maintaining an active research program. The program has a strong commitment to positive social change, for instance, through philanthropic funded support for around 10 students per year from groups underrepresented in data science.
Department or Program Summary
