DBDS seeking Assistant Professors of Biomedical Data Science
University Tenure Line, Stanford University, School of Medicine
We at DBDS at Stanford University seek two faculty members to join the Department as Assistant Professors on the University Tenure Line. One of these faculty will be additionally jointly appointed as a Core Investigator at the Arc Institute. The successful candidates will be expected to contribute creatively and in depth to the analysis of biomedical data and their use to advance science and health. A PhD or equivalent degree in data science, biostatistics, statistics, biomedical informatics, clinical informatics, computer science, biomedical engineering or a related area is required.
The Biomedical Informatics (BMI) Training Program formally changed its name to the Biomedical Data Science Training Program effective September 1.

Our Mission
The Department of Biomedical Data Science (DBDS) is an academic research community, comprised of faculty, students, and staff, whose mission is to advance precision health by leveraging large, complex, multi-scale real-world data through the development and implementation of novel analytical tools and methods.
What is Biomedical Data Science?
Biomedical Data Science “spans a range of biological and medical research challenges that are data intensive and focused on the creation of novel methodologies to advance biomedical science discovery.” The term “data science” describes expertise associated with taking (usually large) data sets and annotating, cleaning, organizing, storing, and analyzing them for the purposes of extracting knowledge. It merges the disciplines of statistics, computer science, and computational engineering” (Annual Review of Biomedical Data Science).
Biomedical Data Science (DBDS) Graduate Program
Our mission is to train future research leaders to design and implement novel quantitative and computational methods that solve challenging problems across the entire spectrum of biology and medicine.
