We are particularly interested in candidates dedicated to the development of novel computational and statistical methods for acquiring, representing, storing, analyzing, and applying biological and clinical data at all scales, who can apply their expertise in biomedical informatics and/or biostatistics to meet departmental goals. Further information on the Department of Biomedical Data Science can be found at[dbds.stanford.edu]dbds.stanford.edu. Applicants should have demonstrated strong ability and interest in conducting both methodological and collaborative research, and in teaching. We expect the successful candidate to conduct a vigorous, independent research program, to advise students, and to assist in program administration. Formal teaching in the classroom will be encouraged. An MD, MD/PhD, or PhD in biostatistics, statistics, biomedical informatics, computer science, biomedical engineering or a related area is required. Faculty rank will be determined by the qualifications and experiences of the successful candidate.
