Faculty (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor)

The Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) seeks a highly motivated and
talented Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor to join our faculty and lead
transformative efforts in AI, machine learning, and computational biology to bridge the
gap between basic science and next-generation medicine. The successful candidate will
have a strong background in computational biology, statistics, machine learning/AI or a
related field, and a passion for applying these techniques to address complex biological
or medical problems.

Biomedical research pioneer Dr. Leroy Hood founded ISB in 2000 as the first-of-its-kind
institute dedicated to systems biology. Unlike traditional academic departments, our
faculty are cross-disciplinary, which enables us to take on big, complex problems. ISB is
deeply committed to sharing our knowledge with society: we participate in the formation
of companies, and strategically collaborate with healthcare systems and industry to
improve human health and accelerate science.

ISB’s computational capabilities are in biological modeling and simulation, machine
learning, biostatistical methods, bioinformatics, medical informatics, applied to:
genomics, phenomics and exposomics. ISB's technical capacities include genomics,
transcriptomics, metagenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, imaging, and single-cell
omics. Accordingly, ISB faculty develop novel measurement technologies, formal
theories and computational tools to support all aspects of systems biology and systems
medicine, and these unique resources are shared across the institute. ISB’s affiliation
with Providence, one of the largest not-for-profit health care systems in the United
States, gives ISB access to unique resources including clinical trials, patient samples,
30 million electronic health records (EHRs), imaging, and the ability to translate
discoveries into clinical applications that benefit patients.

Qualifications:
Candidates should have a Ph.D. or equivalent and have demonstrated the ability or
potential to conduct independent, transformative research, and have a strong
publication record to attract external research funding. The candidate should have a
compelling research vision and a program that bridges computational innovation with
translational applications, a plan for fundraising from federal (NIH, NSF, etc.) and other
sources (philanthropy, foundations, etc.), and a mentoring plan for postdocs and
students at all levels.

Responsibilities:
*Establish and maintain a research program in applied mathematics, statistics,
computer science or data science to investigate fundamental biological
processes and their relevance to human health.

*Pioneer innovative computational frameworks to integrate multimodal biological
and clinical data, such as genomics, proteomics, phenomics, or specialized
domains, such as deep immunophenotyping, imaging, health dynamics, and
spatiotemporalomics data that can drive new scientific paradigms or
personalized medicine with actionable insights for patient care.

*Develop and apply innovative methods to integrate data-driven and knowledge-
based approaches for discovery of mechanisms and clinical decision support.

*Collaborate with other researchers within the institute, external partners to
translate computational discoveries into real-world applications in health care,
from prevention to detection to treatment of diseases.

*Secure external funding to support research activities and expand the scope of
the research program.

*Mentor graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and undergraduate students.

*Contribute to ISB's research and educational mission.

Expected Salary: Compensation for this role will be based on skills, experience, and rank upon hire in the
expected range of $155,000 to $300,000 per year.

Application Instructions: Interested applicants should apply on ISB’s Careers page
https://isbscience.org/careers/. Required materials include curriculum vitae, a 1–2-page
cover letter, a 3–4-page research statement, and a 1-page statement on mentoring
philosophy.
