Faculty Position The Johns Hopkins University Institute for Computational Medicine www.icm.jhu.edu The mission of the Institute for Computational Medicine is to develop quantitative approaches for understanding the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease through application of mathematics, engineering and computer science. The Institute builds on internationally recognized research programs based in both The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Whiting School of Engineering. The scope of research in the Institute is broad. Using data collected by experimental collaborators or from their own experiments, institute researchers develop computational models of biomolecules, molecular pathways, cells, tissue and organs, and use these models to understand the fundamental mechanisms and treatment of disease. Current application areas include cardiovascular disease, angiogenesis, cancer, cystic fibrosis, motor disorders and other brain and psychiatric diseases. Institute researchers are also developing mathematical and computational methods for analyzing anatomic structure and function, and its variation in health and disease. Current application areas include neuropsychiatric and heart diseases. A cross-cutting theme in each of these areas is the development of statistical learning methods that effectively use high-dimensional multi-scale data to make diagnoses, and predict risk and outcomes in a range of diseases. The Institute invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in these areas, or in new directions that complement this work. New faculty will be appointed in an appropriate department of the Whiting School of Engineering or School of Medicine. Successful applicants will be expected to establish independently funded research programs and participate in undergraduate and post-graduate education and research training. In order to ensure full consideration, applications should be received no later than May 31, 2011. Please submit, via email and in MS Word or PDF format only, a curriculum vitae, a statement of research goals, and the names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers of three references to: Dr. Raimond L. Winslow, rwinslow@jhu.edu. The Johns Hopkins University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
