Assistant Professors - Center for Human Genetics (Main Campus)
Location: Clemson, SC
Description
Clemson University invites applications for two tenure-track
Assistant Professors as part of a Cluster Hire at the Center for
Human Genetics, with an expected start date of August 2023. Clemson
University offers competitive salaries, benefits and start-up
funds.
The successful applicants will have accomplished research records
at the forefront of human computational genetics/genomics. Areas of
special interest include, but are not limited to, theoretical
population genetics, statistical genetics, systems genetics,
comparative evolutionary genomics of disease, and genomic data
analysis. However, all computational areas with the potential to
significantly advance the field of human genetics will be
considered.
The mission of the Center for Human Genetics (https://scienceweb.clemson.edu/chg/)
is to understand the principles and mechanisms by which genetic and
environmental factors affect human health and disease. The Center
for Human Genetics provides a vibrant interactive research
environment with state-of-the-art genomic and computational
resources. The successful applicants will be part of a
collaborative and interdisciplinary environment that includes the
research, diagnostic and clinical geneticists at the Greenwood
Genetic Center, the genetics, genomics, statistics and
bioinformatics faculty at Clemson University, the USC School of
Medicine in Greenville and the Prisma Health System. The Center of
Human Genetics currently consists of 21 faculty and their lab
groups in six Departments, located on Clemson main campus and in
Greenwood, South Carolina on the Greenwood Genetic Center
Partnership Campus. These positions will be located on the Clemson
main campus. The home department will be determined by the fit of
the applicant's research interests with the mission of the
Department of Biological Sciences
(www.clemson.edu/science/departments/biosci/index.html) or the
Department of Genetics and Biochemistry.
Clemson University is committed to building a diverse and inclusive
community of faculty scholars dedicated to working and teaching in
a multi-cultural environment (http://www.clemson.edu/inclusion/).
