Assistant Professor - Integrative Computational Biology of Arthropods

The Department of Entomology at the University of Maryland, College Park invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in integrative computational biology focused on arthropods. The appointee will apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science and related approaches to basic and/or applied biological questions using arthropods, in areas such as aquatic ecosystems, disease vectors, behaviour, biodiversity, chemical ecology, climate change, ecological forecasting, genetics and genomics, neurobiology and systematics; primarily computational researchers and those combining computation with field or experimental work are welcome.

The department, affiliated with both the College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, has strengths in ecology, genomics, evolution, pollinator science, vectors and integrated pest management. Salary range $90,000-$100,000.

PhD in biological sciences, (bio)informatics or a related field by the time of appointment, with evidence of research excellence and promise for effective teaching and mentoring. Application: cover letter, CV, research statement, teaching and mentoring statement and reference contact information.
