Open Rank, Tenure Track Faculty Position
Department of BioHealth Informatics
The Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing (SoIC) at Indianapolis invites applications for an open-rank tenure-track faculty position in the Department of BioHealth Informatics (BHI). The appointment will begin August 1, 2015 at the Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus. Exceptional researchers are being sought to join our fast-growing department. Candidates must demonstrate an outstanding scholarly record of research, exhibited by high-impact peer-reviewed publications and a forward-looking, vigorous research agenda that will secure competitive, external funding. While we are seeking candidates in all areas of Health and Biomedical Informatics, we are particularly interested in those with strong research and teaching experience in the following areas: (1) Community, consumer health and social informatics; (2) Learning healthcare system, including clinical intelligence, translational biomedical and clinical informatics; and (3) Big data, data analytics and data science. By strengthening or complementing the faculty research in the department, the ideal candidates will use creative, innovative approaches and technologies to address fundamental BHI challenges with broader societal impact, and have the potential to leverage the strengths of the IUPUI campus, including its unique location in downtown Indianapolis, interdisciplinary and collaborative environment and nation-wide leadership in the health and life sciences.
IUPUI is the health and life science campus of Indiana University, the focal point of health profession education in the State of Indiana and is located in downtown Indianapolis. BHI offers a Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management, a Master of Science in Health Informatics and Bioinformatics, an undergraduate certificate, graduate certificates, and Ph.D. in Health Informatics as well as Bioinformatics. As an information and computing science school, we also offer a Bachelor of Science in Informatics, a Masters of Science in Library and Information Science, and a Ph.D. in Human Computer Interaction.
As tenure track faculty for BHI, the new faculty will have responsibility for developing their research programs and contributing to the educational and service roles of the department. The new faculty also will work closely with founding Department Chair, Brad Doebbeling, to develop and expand the new department over the next several years.
