The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Computational Biomedical Engineering at the Center for Disease Neurogenomics (CDN) in New York City. This role is aimed at scientists who are developing innovative computational tools, methodologies, and models to integrate large biomedical datasets across various scales and modalities. The position is open to computer and data scientists as well as computational biomedical engineers who are adept at employing advanced statistical and machine learning techniques to analyze population-scale single-cell and spatial omics data derived from human brain and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The successful candidate will leverage these advanced approaches to elucidate the interactions between genetic variants, cell types, and molecular functions within a context that is relevant to disease. The CDN is a leading hub for neurogenomics and disease biology, focusing on the advancement of precision medicine in neuropsychiatric disorders. Candidates will join a collaborative team of scientists with expertise spanning genetics, genomics, neuroscience, and clinical psychiatry. The CDN promotes a culture of collaboration and inclusion, encouraging cross-disciplinary interactions between wet lab and dry lab scientists as well as clinicians. The center is part of the Mount Sinai Health Care System, one of the largest hospital systems in the United States, and the Icahn School of Medicine, which boasts a diverse array of departments including psychiatry, neuroscience, genetics, immunology, stem cell biology, and experimental therapeutics. The integrated structure of Mount Sinai fosters a unique environment for scientific and medical collaborations, making it an ideal setting for addressing contemporary biomedical challenges. Candidates should possess a Ph.D., M.D., or M.D./Ph.D. and are expected to establish independent research programs. Those applying for the Associate Professor rank must demonstrate a distinguished record of published research and success in securing funding. The institution offers competitive recruitment packages, strong commitments to faculty support, comprehensive benefits, relocation services, and a fulfilling work-life environment. The Icahn School of Medicine is located in Manhattan, just a block from Central Park, providing a vibrant backdrop for both professional and personal life.
