Description

The Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology (DBCB) at the University of Rochester (UR) is seeking highly qualified applicants for an open rank tenure-track faculty position. Academic rank will be commensurate with credentials. The DBCB has a strong preference for attracting applicants with dual interests in the development of statistical/computational methodology and collaborative biomedical research; successful candidates will possess the research skills and experience required to become leaders in both dimensions. Although applications are welcomed from all corners of biostatistics and will be reviewed carefully, ideal candidates will demonstrate a commitment to research in areas in strong alignment with clinical and translational research, including but not limited to expertise in causal inference, adaptive design, missing and high-dimensional data, and Bayesian inference.

The DBCB currently has 21 faculty members with methodological research interests collectively spanning a broad cross-section of topics in biostatistics and statistics; examples include clinical trial design (including adaptive and SMART trials), causal inference, longitudinal data, survival analysis, Bayesian methods, analysis of social and biological network data, systems biology, and the analysis of large-scale data sets (e.g., from high-throughput genome sequencing and imaging applications). DBCB faculty also collaborate with over 30 departments and centers across the UR Medical Center, including the Department of Neurology, the Eastman Institute for Oral Health, the Wilmot Cancer Institute, the Center for Health Technology, the Environmental Health Sciences Center, and the Clinical and Cardiovascular Research Center. These collaborations provide a rich source of data and pose novel methodological challenges. Many faculty hold joint appointments in the departments or centers in which they collaborate. The Department offers a highly regarded PhD program in Statistics; it also runs two master’s degree programs. Many graduates of these programs have gone on to distinguished careers in academia or industry. The DBCB also supports several postdoctoral fellows, master’s-level statisticians and programmers.

Qualifications

Doctoral degree in biostatistics, statistics, or a strongly related discipline with equivalent training. In addition to strong potential for research, successful candidates will have excellent oral and written communication skills and enthusiasm for graduate teaching and advising. Candidates for Associate and Full Professor positions should also have an established track record of peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, demonstrated success in attracting extramural research funding, and evidence of teaching excellence and mentorship at the graduate level.
