Chief
Biostatistics and Computational Biology Branch, NIEHS
(Review of applications begins: November 12)
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
is recruiting an accomplished scientist to serve as Chief
of the Biostatistics and Computational Biology Branch (BCBB)
Members of the BCBB carry out methodologic research and collaborate
broadly across the Institute to address a wide range of questions related
to effects of the environment on human health. The Branch currently has 4
tenured investigators, 1 tenure-track investigator, 5 staff scientists and
additional trainees, with more recruitments anticipated. Research at NIEHS
incorporates both human- and laboratory-based studies including epidemiology,
genetics, epigenetics, toxicology, imaging, and structural biology. This
research provides both opportunities and analytic challenges related to
high-dimensional data.
The Branch Chief directs their own independent research program, provides
leadership, and facilitates the research and collaborative activities of
Branch scientists. In addition to administrative oversight, the Chief will
supervise staff members, mentor tenure-track investigators and post-doctoral
fellows, and ensure the scientific excellence of the Branch?s research
portfolio. The successful candidate must have a keen interest in synergizing
collaborations, both within the BCBB and with other Intramural and National
Toxicology Program investigators at NIEHS. The Chief will lead the BCBB into
new directions as biostatistics, computational biology, and environmental
science continue to evolve.
Qualifications: The ideal candidate will have an outstanding record
of publication, achievement, and leadership, with broad interests
in biostatistics and computational biology. Applicants must have a
Ph.D. or equivalent degree in statistics/biostatistics/computational
biology/bioinformatics or a related field, a record of accomplishments
commensurate with an academic rank of tenured associate or
full professor, and meet the requirements for tenure at the NIH
To be eligible, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen, resident
alien, or non-resident alien with, or eligible to obtain, a valid
employment-authorization visa.
Salary/Benefits: The Branch Chief will be eligible for a tenured appointment
with excellent start-up, salary, and benefit packages.
How to Apply: Interested persons should send a cover letter, their
curriculum vitae, a 3-page statement of research interests, goals and
leadership/administrative experience, and contact information for 3 references
in one combined PDF, to Ms. Bonnie Earnhardt atint-appls@niehs.nih.gov,
citing Vacancy Announcement DIR-AC1322 in the subject line. Incomplete
applications or paper applications will not be accepted. We will begin
evaluating applications on November 12, 2017. Applications will be accepted
until the position is filled.
The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and
employment programs. HHS and NIH are equal opportunity employers. Applications
from women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged.
