Assistant Professors

Multiple multi-year research faculty positions (non-tenure-track) are available in the Institute for Genomics and Evolutionary Medicine (iGEM) at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA.

Successful candidates will be a core faculty of iGEM. They will be initially funded by existing research grants of participating faculty members (Sudhir Kumar, Sergei Pond, Jody Hey, Sayaka Miura, and Vincenzo Carnevale). Over time, selected research faculty members are expected to develop independent research programs. They will have opportunities to mentor students and seek research funding.

At Temple, our strengths are in computational biology, bioinformatics, phylomedicine, phylodynamics, phylogenomics, and molecular evolution. We are looking for colleagues developing theories, methods, algorithms, software, and resources to address outstanding evolutionary and biomedicine questions innovatively. We also welcome applications from candidates interested in analyzing big datasets.

Applicants should submit their detailed curriculum vitae (CV) and a summary of current and future research interests by email to s.kumar@temple.edu (send a single PDF file). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until all the positions are filled.

Situated near New York City and Washington DC, Philadelphia is home to a large biotech industry and has many outstanding academic and research institutions. Temple University is an equal opportunity, equal access, affirmative action employer committed to achieving a diverse community (AA, EOE, m/f/d/v).
