Assistant and Associate Professors

The Institute for Genomics and Evolutionary Medicine (iGEM) at Temple University invites applications for tenured and tenure-track faculty positions. We are interested in early and mid- career scientists who are developing theories, methods, algorithms, software, and resources for addressing significant problems related to genome sequence variation. As core faculty of iGEM successful candidates will be part of an interdisciplinary team of world- class faculty in biology, genomics and computer and information sciences. The successful faculty will have their tenure home in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. Applicants for the assistant professor position should have the potential to develop a significant, extramurally funded research program. Applicants for the senior position are expected to have an outstanding and continuing track record of research and funding.

Applicants should submit to igem@temple.edu a single pdf containing a cover letter, a detailed curriculum vitae, a summary of current and future research interests, and a statement of teaching philosophy. Please include in the cover letter a link to a Google Scholar profile. Research and teaching statements should inform the search committee about the transformative and cross-disciplinary aspects of the applicant’s work. Review of applications will begin on December 15, 2015 and continue until the positions are filled.
