The Graham School and UChicago Professional Education is currently seeking qualified applicants for a part-time position to teach in our Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics. Current University faculty and staff, as well as professionals working in relevant positions outside of the University, are eligible to apply.
Demand for more sophisticated health information systems and medical research methodologies is rapidly growing due to advances in technology, volume of available health data, and policy initiatives. With a high premium placed on improved delivery of care, therapeutics and outcomes, the skills acquired in the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics program will help students understand the foundation of informatics and develop solutions to address these growing needs and current healthcare challenges. Applicants must have relevant experience in biomedical informatics, clinical care, medical research, or practical experience in healthcare related fields.
The program currently operates on a quarterly schedule, with 9 or 10 weeks of instruction per quarter. Classes are held weekly, in-person, at our downtown campus, weeknight evening or Saturday schedule. There may be an opportunity to schedule classes during morning or afternoon weekday hours.
