Full-time, 12-month, Tenure Track Faculty Positions at the Rank of Assistant Professor
The Department of Biostatistics at Virginia Commonwealth University invites applications for two, full-time, 12-month, tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Professor. One position will focus on candidates with expertise in methodology development and applications of AI/ML (such as, deep learning, transfer learning, large language models, generative AI, etc.) and other Data Science techniques, leading to a state-of-the-art predictive modeling in biomedicine. The candidate is expected to have significant computational knowledge in Python, C++, GPU programming, and in other relevant AI/ML platforms, and thus contribute to the teaching and research mission of the department. The other position will seek candidates with broad research expertise; in particular, candidates with specific expertise in topics that include, but are not limited to, spatial and spatio-temporal methodology, causal inference, handling and analyzing electronic health records and national survey data, dynamic treatment regime and precision medicine, functional data, advanced Bayesian methods, and big data are encouraged to apply. The Department is one of the highest funded entities within the newly formed SoPH, thus offering remarkable opportunities towards the growth of the research trajectory. The faculty members are expected to foster the tripartite mission (excellence in teaching, research and service) of the department by successfully competing for independent and collaborative extramural funding, developing their own program of research, and contributing to the teaching mission of the department.

Mission: The Department of Biostatistics is housed in the recently formed School of Public Health (SoPH) at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). With a 40+ year history within VCU’s Academic Health campus, the Department is committed to excellence, with a mission to improve human health through methodological research, graduate education, and collaboration with health science researchers on biostatistical methods and applications. Majority of our biostatistics faculty, students, and staff collaborate with clinical investigators on the VCU Academic Health campus (which includes the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, the College of Health Professions, the Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center) in a wide variety of complicated, hierarchical, and multifaceted health problems. As educators, we aim to train the next generation of biostatisticians, bioinformaticians, and data scientists in methodological, collaborative, and leadership skills by offering both M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Biostatistics, including a concentration in Genomic Biostatistics, and a M.S. in Clinical Research in Biostatistics. The department is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. For more details, please visit https://biostatistics.vcu.edu/
