Faculty and Postdoctoral Positions

Yale School of Public Health
Yale University School of Medicine
Assistant Professor/Associate Professor/Professor in
Bioinformatics, Statistical Genomics, or Genetic Epidemiology

Yale School of Public Health has at least two faculty positions available at the level of Professor, Associate Professor, or advanced Assistant Professor in the disciplines of bioinformatics, statistical genomics, or genetic epidemiology. With a broad commitment to health sciences research and its continuing support for Yale’s Center for Genomics and Proteomics, Yale is significantly expanding its infrastructure and faculty in genomics research. The new faculty will be expected to build a strong program in their discipline and to collaborate with ongoing genomics/proteomics activities at Yale. One of the positions is linked to a concurrent initiative in genomic medicine at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in West Haven, CT. Specifically, a faculty position will be based at the VA, with an academic appointment at Yale University, to develop and oversee genomic medicine activities within the Cooperative Studies Program (a national network of biostatistical and epidemiological research centers). The candidate filling this position will have the opportunity to lead in the development of a genomics research program that utilizes the data and infrastructure of the VA system.

Successful candidates will have an active research and training program; an extensive body of influential publications; a history of service to international/national-level committees, professional organizations, and scholarly journals; a reputation for mentoring successful academic careers; and an established international reputation in their field of research.

Applications, nominations, and inquiries are all invited. Applicants are asked to submit a letter of interest, a complete curriculum vitae, and copies of recent publications, by May 1, 2008, in confidence to:
