Description
The School of Biological Sciences (SBS) at the University of Oklahoma (OU) and Laboratories of Molecular Anthropology and Microbiome Research (LMAMR) invite applications for a 9-month tenure-track appointment with a starting Fall 2025.
We seek an innovative, creative and collaborative computational biologist who will establish a discipline-leading, student-involved, cross-disciplinary and externally funded research program; build collaborations within and outside the University; and work with colleagues and students toward OU’s Lead On Strategic Plan.
We invite individuals with innovative, and dynamic research programs who would like to be part of a collaborative group of researchers to apply for this faculty position. We are seeking a scholar whose home department would be School of Biological Sciences but would also be affiliated with the Laboratories of Molecular Anthropology and Microbiome Research (LMAMR) at the University of Oklahoma. LMAMR represents an interdisciplinary partnership that seeks to understand biocultural, ecological and evolutionary dimensions of life. We study biomolecules retrieved from extant, forensic, historical, archaeological, and environmental materials, with special attention to humans and human-associated organisms including commensals and pathogens. LMAMR is also home to a world-class ancient DNA laboratory.
The ideal candidate will specialize in Computational Biology with a focus in Metagenomics or Machine Learning with genomic data. This position will contribute substantially to the ongoing research in Metagenomics and Paleogenomics at the University of Oklahoma, particularly in the context of one or more of the four SBS research themes “Ecology of Changing Planet”, “Biological Foundations of One Health”, “Mechanisms of Biodiversity”, or “Behaviors: From Molecules to Ecosystems”. We are especially interested in scholars who are innovating tools, methods and algorithms for the analysis of genomic data.
The successful candidate will be expected to provide training for graduate students and postdocs and mentor undergraduates in research and will contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching (one course per semester) in areas such as in Metagenomics, Bioinformatics, Machine Learning for Biologists, and/or in their specific area of expertise.
