Faculty Openings in the School of Medicine and Public Health

Assistant or Associate Professor of Clinical Research Informatics (227672)

The Department of Biostatistics & Medical Informatics (BMI) and the Clinical and Health Informatics Institute (CHI2) seek applicants for a tenure-track assistant or associate professor whose research focuses on clinical research informatics. The successful applicant for this position will deepen our campus' interdisciplinary research strength in clinical research informatics, its applications for healthcare and biomedical sciences, and will embrace diversity in the broadest sense. We require a doctoral degree (PhD or equivalent) in biomedical informatics, computer science, biostatistics, or a closely related quantitative field. Assistant professor candidates must have at least 3 years of relevant research experience, which may have been acquired in the doctoral program. Associate professor candidates must have relevant tenure-track faculty experience. We require a strong methodological research program; a demonstrated commitment to interdisciplinary research in basic, translational, or clinical research; and the potential to thrive in our dynamic research environment. BMI is a vibrant and collaborative basic science department in the School of Medicine & Public Health at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. CHI2 delivers informatics expertise and infrastructure enabling the discovery, translation, and dissemination of interventions to improve health.

Assistant or Associate Professor of Machine Learning (228054)

The Department of Biostatistics & Medical Informatics, a vibrant and collaborative basic science department in the School of Medicine & Public Health at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks applicants for a tenure-track assistant or associate professor whose research focuses on machine learning. The successful applicant for this position will deepen our campus' interdisciplinary research strength in machine learning, its applications for healthcare and biomedical sciences, and will embrace diversity in the broadest sense. We require a doctorate (PhD or equivalent) in Computer Science, Statistics, Biomedical Informatics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related quantitative field. Assistant professor candidates must have at least 3 years of relevant research experience, which may have been acquired in the doctoral program. Associate professor candidates must have relevant tenure-track faculty experience. We require a strong methodological research program in machine learning; a demonstrated commitment to interdisciplinary research in basic, translational, or clinical research; and the potential to thrive in our dynamic research environment. We are looking for someone to develop new machine learning approaches, algorithms, and strategies to create more effective predictive models from growing data resources. You will have the opportunity to use electronic health record, genomic, imaging, and other relevant data sources, all of which may inform prediction for clinical outcomes or treatment strategies, as well as data on molecular structures that might guide predictions of protein binding or other molecular characteristics. This is a great opportunity for those interested in machine learning and its application to questions of human health and biomedical science.

The assured consideration date for both positions is December 31, 2020, although late applications may be considered. We strongly encourage women and underrepresented minority candidates to apply.
