The Department of Computer and Information Sciences at University of Delaware invites applications for an open rank tenure-track faculty position in computational biology and bioinformatics. Outstanding candidates in all areas of computer science will be considered. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in relevant areas. We encourage all ambitious, innovative individuals, who have demonstrated excellence in research and drive to become leaders in their fields while engaging in high-quality teaching and mentoring of diverse students, to apply.

New faculty will have ample opportunities to join the many university initiatives including the Data Science Institute, the Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence, graduate programs in Quantum Science and Engineering, Robotics, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Security and those supported by Delaware Biotechnology Institute, Center for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, Institute for Financial Services Analytics, and Health Sciences at the STAR campus. New faculty will also have the opportunity to be involved in the UD-based interdisciplinary graduate training programs funded by NIH and NSF including NIH T32 Chemical Biology Interface, NIH T32 Predoctoral Training Program in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Biomedical Data Science, and NSF NRT Computing and Data Science Training for Materials Innovation, Discovery, and Analytics.

The 194,000-square-foot Harker Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Laboratory includes shared laboratories for nanofabrication and advanced materials characterization and greatly expands opportunities for interdisciplinary research and education, and the 272-acre STAR (Science, Technology and Advanced Research) campus offers even more opportunities for research, academic, and commercial development. The University is a Land-Grant, Sea-Grant, and Space-Grant institution, and its beautiful 100-acre central campus is located halfway between Washington, DC and New York City, and about one hour away from Baltimore and Philadelphia.
