The Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology (DBCB) at the University of Rochester (UR) is seeking highly qualified applicants for a tenure-track assistant professor position. The DBCB has a strong preference for attracting applicants with dual interests in the development of statistical/computational methodology and collaborative biomedical research; successful candidates will possess the research
skills and experience required to become leaders in both dimensions. Although applications are welcomed from all corners of biostatistics and will be reviewed carefully, ideal candidates will have expertise and interests in: clinical trial design, including Bayesian adaptive design; gene-trait association studies; omics-informed precision medicine; spatial transcriptomics and/or functional genomics. Each of these
areas offers strong opportunities for collaboration with faculty across the UR Medicine health system, and either aligns with or complements departmental strengths. Training or expertise in related areas such as casual inference, Bayesian inference, high-dimensional data analysis, machine learning, data integration and data visualization are highly desirable. The DBCB currently has 20 faculty members, and 2
active emeritus, with methodological research interests collectively spanning a broad cross-section of topics in biostatistics and statistics; examples include clinical trial design (including adaptive and SMART trials), causal inference, longitudinal data, survival analysis, Bayesian methods, analysis of social and biological network data, systems biology, and the analysis of large-scale data sets (e.g., from
high-throughput genome sequencing and imaging applications). DBCB faculty also collaborate with over 30 departments and centers, including the Departments of Biomedical Genetics, Medicine, Neurology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry; the Eastman Institute for Oral Health; the NCI-designated Wilmot Cancer Institute; the Center for Health
