Description

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) is looking for passionate and highly motivated Faculty. The successful candidates will be responsible for delivering high-quality instruction, mentoring students, contributing to curriculum development, and actively engaging in interdisciplinary research. Faculty members will also have the opportunity to collaborate with leading AI researchers, work on cutting-edge projects, and contribute to the university's growth as a hub for AI excellence.

The School of Public Health is expanding and aims to grow to 60 faculty members over the next 3-4years. We invite candidates at all levels (Assistant, Associate and Full Professor) to apply.

The School of Public Health is at the forefront of research at the intersection of Genomics, Personalized Medicine, Epidemiology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). A key initiative within the school is the Human Phenotype Project—a groundbreaking, large-scale longitudinal cohort and biobank designed to identify novel molecular markers with diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic value. This project involves deep profiling of participants through comprehensive data collection on medical history, lifestyle and nutritional habits, vitals, anthropometrics, blood tests, continuous glucose and sleep monitoring, and multi-omic molecular profiling, including genetics, transcriptomics, microbiomics, metabolomics, and immune system markers. The school leverages this data and advanced AI and medical, and computational models to generate insights into disease mechanisms, identifying novel biomarkers and developing state-of-the-art predictive models for disease onset and progression. These models are translated into personalized prevention strategies and innovative therapeutic interventions. Research areas of interest include, but not limited to:

• Computational and Systems Biology
• Medical and Health Informatics
• Multi-omics and Integrative Data Analysis
• Population-level Cohort and EHR Analysis
• Biomedical Imaging

The Department of Precision and Personalized Medicine is dedicated to transforming patient care by tailoring therapeutic and preventive strategies to individual genetic, molecular, and lifestyle profiles. Among its core focus areas are novel biomarker discovery, clinical translation of multi-omics data, advanced AI-driven therapeutic design, personalized diagnostics, and patient-specific treatment optimization. Leveraging the Human Phenotype Project’s longitudinal cohort data—from in-depth clinical assessments to continuous monitoring of lifestyle and health indicators—faculty in this department develop predictive models and targeted interventions aimed at improving patient outcomes and revolutionizing healthcare delivery.

Faculty joining the department will have full access to unique datasets, including the Human Phenotype Project, enabling innovative research that pushes the boundaries of precision medicine. We invite candidates at all levels (Assistant, Associate and Full Professor) to apply.
