The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics is seeking to fill up to two openings that would be at the tenured (full or associate professor) or tenure-track (assistant professor) level.  We are recruiting for faculty in all areas, but we especially welcome applications from candidates with research interests focused on the development and application of quantitative methods for high-dimensional data analysis and integrative data analytics.  For one position, preference will be given to individuals specializing in biomedical imaging research, to build upon the department’s Center for Biomedical Imaging Statistics with links to imaging research across the health sciences.  Responsibilities associated with these positions include methodological and collaborative research, teaching, and the supervision of graduate students.

Collaborative opportunities exist within the Rollins School of Public Health departments of epidemiology, behavioral sciences and health education, health policy and management, environmental and occupational health, and global health.  Research opportunities also exist throughout Emory’s Woodruff Health Sciences Center including the School of Medicine, the Winship Cancer Institute, Yerkes Primate Center, the Vaccine Center, and the Center for AIDS Research.

The department currently has 27 doctoral faculty and 8 masters level associate faculty members with primary appointments. The department participates in the Atlanta Clinical and Translational Research Institute, serves as the Data Coordinating Center for several NIH clinical trials, and operates the Biostatistics Consulting Center.  The department offers a doctoral graduate program in biostatistics from the Laney Graduate School of Arts and Science and master’s degree programs in biostatistics and public health informatics from the Rollins School of Public Health. A concentration in bioinformatics, imaging, and genetics (BIG) is available at the doctoral level.
