"Assistant Professors in Interdisciplinary Data Science"

The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Toledo seeks to fill two or more 9-month tenure track Assistant Professor(s) in the field of Interdisciplinary Data Science. We are particularly interested in people with a background in astro-statistics computational biochemistry, and automated bio-imaging. The College has research strengths in astronomy and astrophysics and cell architecture and dynamics. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an active, independent, externally funded research program that uses data science techniques, such as machine learning, data mining, artificial intelligence, or other big data techniques.

A PhD in physics, astronomy, biology, biochemistry, chemistry, or closely related fields is required. Postdoctoral experience or equivalent is strongly preferred. Excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level in astronomy, biochemistry, or biology as well as data science is expected, and candidates should plan to involve both graduate and undergraduate students in their research program. The new faculty member will be expected to substantially contribute to and lead the development of new academic programs and revision of existing programs to best meet the needs of University of Toledo students.
