The Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (LMP) at the
University of Minnesota Medical School is seeking to hire an
academic track or tenure track faculty member interested in the
interface of bioinformatics, machine learning, and the medical
sciences. As the acquisition of biomedical data has become
increasingly scalable, the challenge is shifting from obtaining
data to identifying relevant data and analyzing and interpreting it
relative to the existing knowledge of research. Often data is
collected across multiple modalities including various imaging and
'omics platforms, each with its own associated databases. In
addition, digital pathology and spatial 'omics platforms are
extending the computational needs beyond the realm of traditional
'omics analysis into complex image analysis. Our goal is to develop
tools that leverage the multilayered nature of the data to
establish relationships between modalities and direct experiments
using advanced computational methodologies. The candidate will work
closely with the (ARDL) within LMP, which is the central laboratory
and biorepository for over 60 NIH funded multi-center observational
studies and clinical trials and both generates and has access to
large scale 'omics data on several thousand samples. The applicant
will also work closely with the Divisions of Computational
Pathology and Anatomic Pathology to advance digital pathology
applications within LMP. Learn more about the department here:
Candidates must hold a PhD in Biophysics/Physics, Applied
Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics,
Quantitative/Computational Biology or a related field. Strong
background in statistics, experience implementing machine-learning
algorithms, building analysis pipelines for 'omics data and
demonstrated ability to extract datasets from publicly available
sources. Academic rank and appointment type will be commensurate
with years of experience and accomplishments. Candidates are
expected to demonstrate a strong record of research productivity.
Successful candidates must have the ability to:
