Washington university in saint Louis Multiple Tenure-track/Tenured Faculty Positions

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and the School of Medicine ( WUSM) are jointly searching for multiple tenure-track faculty members with outstanding records of computing research and long term interest in scientific and/or biomedical problems. Appointments may be made wholly within CSE or jointly with the Departments of Medicine or Pathology & Immunology.

A key initiative in the CSE department’s strategic plan is Integrating Computing and Science. As part of that initiative, we expect to make synergistic hires with a combined research portfolio spanning the range from fundamental computer science/engineering to applied research focused on science or medicine. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

˲ Databases, medical informatics, clinical or public-health informatics

˲ Theory/Algorithms with the potential for biomedical applications

˲ Analysis of complex genetic, genomic, pro-teomic, and metabolomic datasets

˲ Image analysis or visualization with the potential for biomedical applications

˲ Computer engineering with applications to medicine or the natural sciences

˲ Other areas of computational biology or computational science

These positions will continue a successful, ongoing strategy of collaborative research between CSE and the School of Medicine, which is consistently ranked among the top 3 medical schools in the United States. CSE currently consists of 24 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, 71 Ph.D. students, and a stellar group of undergraduates with a history of significant research contributions. The Department seeks to build on and complement its strengths in biological sequence analysis, biomedical image analysis, and biomedical applications of novel computing architectures.

Washington University is a private university with roughly 6,000 full-time undergraduates and 6,000 graduate students. It has one of the most attractive university campuses anywhere, and is located in a lovely residential neighborhood, adjacent to one of the nation’s largest urban parks, in the heart of a vibrant metropolitan area. St. Louis is a wonderful place to live, providing access to a wealth of cultural and entertainment opportunities without the everyday hassles of the largest cities.

We anticipate appointments at the rank of Assistant Professor; however, in the case of exceptionally qualified candidates appointments at any rank may be considered. Qualified applicants should submit a complete application (cover letter, curriculum vita, research statement, teaching statement, and names of at least three references) electronically to [e-mail]. Other communications may be directed to Prof. Michael Brent, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Campus Box 1045, Washington University, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130-4899.

Applications will be considered as they are received. Washington University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
