Open Rank Faculty Positions in Computer Science: Bioinformatics

The Department of Computer Science in the Donald Bren School of
Information and Computer Sciences (ICS) at the University of
California, Irvine (UCI) invites applications for tenure-track
assistant professor or tenured associate/full professor positions
beginning July 1, 2019. The Department is interested in individuals
with a strong research background in bioinformatics, broadly defined
to be in the general area of applying computational and/or machine
learning methods to study biology and/or medicine.

The Computer Science Department's curricula, faculty and research
focus on an array of topics including: computer architecture, system
software, networking and distributed computing, data and information
systems, artificial intelligence, and computer graphics; while also
pursuing interdisciplinary topics such as bioinformatics, data mining,
security and privacy, and ubiquitous computing.

At UCI, ICS brings together three unique departments (Computer
Science, Informatics, and Statistics), thus strategically positioning
itself to meet the technical and social challenges of computing and
information systems in the coming decades. The U.S. News and World
Report 2018 Best Global Universities ranking identifies UCI as a top
75 university in computer science and one of the top 30 universities
for computer science in the United States. ICS is one of only five
computing-focused schools among the Association of American
Universities (AAU) members. Our 90+ faculty members include 2 NAE
Members, 14 ACM Fellows, 9 IEEE Fellows, 9 AAAS Fellows and many other
national award winners.

For eight consecutive years the University of California, Irvine has
