Chief
Cancer Data Science Laboratory, NCI-CCR
(deadline: December 9)
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is seeking a visionary scientist in
cancer computational biology and data science to establish and lead the new
Cancer Data Science Laboratory (CDSL) in the Center for Cancer Research
(CCR), National Cancer Institute. The position of Chief is equivalent to
that of an academic department chair.
The CDSL will be the hub for computational and bioinformatics activities
across the CCR which is the largest component of the NIH Intramural Research
Program with more than 230 investigators performing basic, translational
and clinical research on cancer. The CDSL will house a group of principal
investigators, led by the Chief, working at the forefront of data science in
fields such as, but not limited to, integrative genomics, network approaches
to biology, computational modeling, and mathematical oncology. In addition
to conducting original research, the incumbent will have the opportunity
to build a new multi-PI research program, define the scope and direction of
the CDSL, and oversee all aspects of its development, including recruitment
of faculty. The Chief will also administratively oversee a computational
Collaboratory consisting of multiple computational scientists with the
goal of enabling high-end computational analysis projects for the entire
CCR community. In addition, the Chief will also provide leadership in team
science and will integrate CCR computational activities with ongoing trans-
NIH computational and data science efforts across the research spectrum
present in the CCR.
The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS), a federal agency. The CCR comprises
more than 2000 scientific staff and provides a protected environment to
pursue distinctive basic, translational, and clinical research in a highly
interdisciplinary environment. Additional information on NCI CCR can be
found at
https://ccr.cancer.gov.
In addition to a Ph.D. and/or M.D. or equivalent degree in a relevant
discipline, applicants must have a proven track record of scientific
excellence at the international level. Salary will be commensurate with
experience and accomplishments. Applications should include a curriculum
vitae including publication list, description of past and proposed future
research activities and a statement outlining the vision for the CDSL.
Applications must be submitted electronically between October 11, 2016 and
December 9, 2016 to
https://irp-positions.nih.gov/job/CDSLChief2016. NIH
is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment
programs. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. U.S. citizenship
is not required. DHHS and NIH are equal opportunity employers.
Chief and Senior Investigator
Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Branch, NICHD
(deadline: January 13, 2017)
The Division of Intramural Population Health Research is located within
the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development and invites qualified candidates to apply for the position
of Chief and Senior Investigator of the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics
Branch. As one of three intramural branches in the Division, the
Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Branch mission is to develop novel statistical methods
motivated by the Division's population health research that includes
human fecundity and fertility, pregnancy, and child and adolescent
health and behavior. In addition, Branch scientists serve as statistical
co-investigators on all etiologic and interventional research in keeping
with the team science research paradigm practiced by the Division. The
Branch's mission also includes a strong commitment to mentoring trainees
at varying career stages and professional service.
As an intramural entity, the Branch is expected to develop innovative
methodologic and collaborative research that uses the rich
trans-disciplinary environment of the Division and the NIH Intramural Research Program. This
expectation includes developing and implementing methods that support
original research seeking to answer critical data gaps, and in the
analysis of a vast array of databases from completed and ongoing research
studies. The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics branch currently houses 4
investigators, with room for growth. A description of the Branch may be
found at
https://www.nichd.nih.gov/about/org/diphr/bbb/Pages/default.aspx
and an overview of all Division research is summarized in the Division's annual report
https://www.nichd.nih.gov/about/org/diphr/Documents/DIPHR_2015_Annual_Report.pdf.
The Branch Chief must be a dynamic leader who provides scientific,
administrative and fiscal leadership, while maintaining his/her own original
methodologic and collaborative research. Candidates must have an earned
doctoral degree in biostatistics, statistics or a closely related
quantitative field. The successful candidate must be an internationally recognized
methodologist whose accomplishments are commensurate with the academic rank
of a tenured full professor, as demonstrated by a strong upward trajectory
of high quality statistical publications, a trajectory of high quality and
impact collaborative publications, an international reputation, extramural
funding (for academic candidates), and a clear vision of biostatistics' and
bioinformatics' essential role in population health research. The Chief is
expected to lead in strengthening current research areas and in developing
new areas of expertise to address increasingly challenging designs and analyses,
including priorities such as bioinformatics and causal inference. The Chief
is expected to lead in developing and implementing the infrastructure and
culture of reproducible research. The position requires excellent inter-personnel
and communication skills, and experience leading trans-disciplinary scientific
teams and recruiting early stage biostatisticians are highly desirable. The
Chief will serve as a member of the Division's senior leadership working
to further the Division and Institute's vision and mission.
The Branch Chief will be eligible for tenure, at a salary commensurate with
his/her credentials and experience. Full federal government benefits will
be provided, including leave, health and life insurance, long-term care
insurance, retirement plan, and savings plan (401k equivalent). Interested
candidates should submit the following items: Curriculum vitae; brief (2-3
pages) cover letter that summarizes professional training and experience
in the following areas: leadership, management, administration, research,
professional service, and mentoring; brief (2-3 pages) vision statement for
the Branch; and names, affiliations, and contact details for three
references (who will only be contacted following an interview).
Please email these materials as one package to: Ms. Adrienne Lonaberger;
Program Analyst, DIPHR, NICHD; 6710B Rockledge Drive; Room 3141D; Bethesda,
MD 20892; 301-496-6324; or
greenad@mail.nih.gov. All inquiries about the
position should be directed to the Committee Chair: Dr. Enrique Schisterman; Chief
and Senior Investigator; Epidemiology Branch, DIPHR, NICHD; 6710B Rockledge
Drive, Room 3136; Bethesda, MD 20892; 301-435-6893,
schistee@mail.nih.gov. Complete
applications received by January 13, 2017, will be considered for a first
round of interviews, but applications will be accepted until the position
is filled. The selected candidate is expected to assume the position and be
onsite by July 1, 2017. HHS, NIH, and NICHD are equal opportunity
employers.
