Description

The Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences and the Department of Molecular Biosciences at The University of Texas at Austin have an opening for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position beginning Fall 2025 in the area of Computational Biosciences/Biomedicine.  We are particularly interested in the application of modern AI and scientific machine learning approaches to the study of biological systems.  Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the development of predictive models of gene expression, first-principles-based biological modeling, and protein biochemistry. Candidates with expertise in developing scalable computational methods that can be applied across diverse biological contexts are encouraged to apply.  This search is conducted jointly between the Oden Institute and the Department of Molecular Biosciences as one of several faculty lines committed to expanding the development of AI for Science and Scientific Machine Learning at UT Austin. The successful candidate will have half of their teaching duties in the Oden Institute’s Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics graduate program and half in the Department of Molecular Biosciences.  This position is open to applicants at all ranks: assistant, associate, and full professor, including the possibility of appointment as a chaired professor for candidates with exceptional qualifications.
