Job description

Description

The Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute at Princeton University, in partnership with The Department of Computer Science, invites applications for new faculty positions in the area of Computational Bioengineering, at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank.

We welcome applications from all areas of computational bioengineering. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the development and application of novel algorithms and machine learning/AI techniques for engineering and extracting insights from biological systems and data sets (genomics, proteomics, imaging, neuroscience), synthetic and chemical biology approaches to cellular computation and biomolecular circuit design, and related areas at the interface of computer/data science and the life sciences.

Qualifications

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Quantitative Biology or related disciplines, and have a demonstrated record of excellence and leadership in research, commensurate with career stage. We seek faculty members who will be instrumental to creating an ecosystem of excellence, with a commitment to teaching and service in our growing community.

Princeton recently launched the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute, including a new Bioengineering Ph.D. program, and a new state-of-the-art facililty. The institute brings together a strong group of faculty engaged in Bioengineering-related research, spanning engineering departments including Chemical & Biological Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, as well as across Princeton’s strong interdisciplinary biology units including Molecular Biology, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, the Lewis Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute.

We seek creative and enthusiastic candidates with the background and skills to build upon and complement existing strengths and help expand Princeton's Bioengineering program into new and exciting research areas.

Princeton University is committed to equal opportunity and non-discrimination. To maximize excellence, we seek talent from all segments of American society and the world, and we take steps to ensure everyone at Princeton can thrive while they are here. That is the sole rationale and the purpose of our diversity and inclusion programs, all of which are voluntary and open to all, and which comply with federal and state non-discrimination laws. Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic, and Princeton does not provide special benefits or preferential treatment on the basis of a protected characteristic.
