Bioinformatics Assistant Professor, Tenure Track, Brain Cancer Research

The Department of Neurological Surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine seeks a full-time tenure track Investigator at the rank of Assistant Professor interested in the interface of bioinformatics, machine learning, and the medical sciences. As the acquisition of biomedical data has become increasingly scalable, the challenge has shifted from obtaining data to identifying relevant data and analyzing and interpreting it relative to the existing corpus of research. Often data is collected across multiple modalities including various imaging and 'omics platforms, each with its own associated databases. Our goal is to develop tools that leverage the multilayered nature of the data to establish relationships between modalities and direct experiments using machine learning.

Qualifications: Ph. D. in Biophysics/Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Quantitative/Computational Biology, or related field. Strong background in statistics, experience implementing machine learning algorithms, and demonstrated ability to extract datasets from publicly available sources. Experience building analysis pipelines for 'omics data. Fluency with R/Python is a plus.
