The Computational Medicine Program in the School of Medicine and the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) invites applicants for a tenure-track faculty position. The Computational Medicine Program is a recently established research initiative that seeks to apply modern computational approaches, including mathematical and statistical modeling, machine learning, and network analysis, to problems relevant to human health and disease. Candidates who aim to establish a research program in any area of mathematics with applications to understanding mechanisms of human diseases and the goal of impacting diagnosis and treatment are strongly encouraged to apply. A Ph.D. or equivalent degree is required, and postdoctoral experience, outstanding research promise, and dedication to excellent teaching are expected. Appointments are expected to be made at the level of assistant professor, but exceptionally well-qualified candidates of higher rank will also be considered.

This position includes affiliation and research space within the Computational Medicine Program at UNC School of Medicine and a full-time faculty appointment within the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences. The successful candidate will be expected to direct an independent research program supported by extramural funding and to participate in team science projects initiated through the Computational Medicine Program. The duties of this position will also include student mentoring and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels through the Department of Mathematics. An excellent start-up package and access to departmental and institutional facilities will be provided, including access to outstanding computational resources (https://its.unc.edu/research-computing)
