General Description
The Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) invite applications for tenured or tenure-track faculty positions in the area of Epigenomics. Outstanding candidates at all academic ranks will be considered. They will also be encouraged to collaborate with existing university-wide initiatives.
Epigenomics
We seek candidates whose research focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge epigenomic technologies, including but not limited to DNA methylation profiling, histone modification mapping, chromatin accessibility assays, nuclear organization, and single-cell epigenomic techniques. We welcome candidates employing either experimental, computational, or integrated approaches, particularly those whose work advances our understanding of gene regulation, cellular differentiation, and disease mechanisms by integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data.
The successful candidate will be expected to establish an independent, internationally recognized research program that leverages epigenomic insights to address fundamental questions in biology, with applications to human health, disease diagnosis, and personalized medicine.
This cluster hire initiative is part of the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Epigenomics cluster.
Opportunities for interactions across the University include: Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare, Translational Tissue Engineering Center, Center for Computational Biology, Alliance for Cardiovascular Diagnostic and Treatment Innovation, Institute for Computational Medicine, Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Institute, Center for Imaging Sciences, Data Science and AI Institute, and the Mathematical Institute for Data Science.
Johns Hopkins University strives to be a pluralistic community that embraces the values and imperatives of diversity, equity, and inclusion as integral to our missions of education, research, and service. We are committed to doing our part to address both the lag in diverse faculty recruitment in higher education and the need to build stronger networks to support faculty advancement and success. Thus, we are endeavoring to hire multiple faculty members into interdisciplinary cohorts (clusters) for Fall 2025 anticipated start dates.
The expected salary range for these positions is: Assistant Professors $150k-$200k, Associate Professors $180k-$245k, Full Professors $220k-$500k, for 12-month FTE. The referenced salary range is based on Johns Hopkins University's good faith belief at the time of posting. The actual compensation offered to the selected candidate may vary and will be based on factors including, but not limited to, the experience and qualifications of the selected candidate - e.g., years in rank, training, field, discipline, other work experience, and other similar factors; geographic location; internal equity; external market conditions; and other factors as reasonably determined by the University.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are integral values of the University. Accordingly, the Departments involved seek candidates who can contribute to racial equity, diversity, and inclusion through service, mentorship, teaching, and scholarship.
Applications will be reviewed starting January 1, 2025 and will be accepted until the position is filled. In-person interviews will be conducted in Spring 2025.
Qualifications
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Genomics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or related fields, and will be expected to establish a strong, independent, multidisciplinary, and internationally recognized research program. Commitment to teaching excellence at the undergraduate and graduate levels is required.
Application Instructions
Electronic applications should include a cover letter describing the principal expertise of the applicant, a statement of teaching interests, a statement of research interests, a diversity statement, a complete resume, and a publication list. Applications at the Assistant Professor level should also include contact information for at least three referees. Applications at the Associate or Full Professor levels should not include reference letters or names at this stage.
Johns Hopkins University remains committed to its founding principle, that education for all students should be grounded in exploration and discovery. Hopkins students are challenged not just to learn but also to advance learning itself. Critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and entrepreneurship are all encouraged and nourished in this unique educational environment.
