What are the responsibilities and job description for the Open Rank Professor - School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences with The Center for Human Genetics, Greenwood SC position at Clemson University MBA Programs?
Clemson University: College of Science: School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences
Location
Greenwood Genetics Center
Open Date
Nov 08, 2024
Description
Clemson University invites applications for an open rank Professor (tenure track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate or Full Professor) at the Center for Human Genetics, with an expected start date of August 2025. Clemson University offers competitive salaries, benefits, and start-up funds.
The successful applicant will have an accomplished research record at the forefront of human computational/statistical genetics and genomics. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, quantitative genetics, statistical genetics, systems genetics of complex traits and inference of gene regulatory networks from single cell multiome data. Strong candidates will be able to develop, evaluate, prototype, and ultimately implement cutting edge statistical, computational, and machine learning/artificial intelligence methods for the integrative analysis of large-scale genetic and genomic data. However, all computational research areas with the potential to significantly advance the field of human genetics will be considered.
The successful applicant will be part of a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment that includes the research, diagnostic and clinical geneticists at the Greenwood Genetic Center, the genetics, genomics, statistics and bioinformatics faculty at Clemson University, the USC School of Medicine in Greenville and the Prisma Health System.
About the Center for Human Genetics and the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences:
The mission of the Center for Human Genetics is to understand the principles and mechanisms by which genetic and environmental factors affect human health and disease. The Center for Human Genetics provides a vibrant interactive research environment with state-of-the-art genomic and computational resources. The Center for Human Genetics has received an ~$10 million Phase 1 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in Human Genetics grant to mentor young faculty to obtain substantial NIH support for their research programs. The Center of Human Genetics currently consists of 31 faculty and their laboratory groups in nine Departments or Schools in four Colleges, located on the Clemson main campus and in Greenwood, South Carolina on the Greenwood Genetic Center Partnership Campus. Research facilities for the successful candidate will be in Self Regional Hall, a 17,000-square-foot building located in Greenwood, South Carolina on the Greenwood Genetic Center Partnership Campus. The home department will be the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences.
The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences is dedicated to Clemson’s overall mission of discovery, learning, and engagement. The School’s faculty includes tenured/tenure-track faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and teaching-focused faculty, and it fosters professional growth for all faculty. The School offers the full range of Baccalaureate, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees and unit research productivity aligns with Clemson’s R1 research designation.
The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences is organized into three Divisions:

Qualifications
Successful candidates at the Assistant Professor rank must hold a doctoral degree and have postdoctoral experience. Competitive candidates will demonstrate an ability to develop a vigorous and independent, externally funded and nationally recognized research program; demonstrate teaching excellence and a commitment to diversity inclusion; and participate in relevant undergraduate and graduate education programs.
Successful candidates at the Associate or Full Professor rank will have a Ph.D. and tenure or equivalent at their current institution and an excellent record and trajectory of accomplishment leading a successful academic, federally funded research program. This includes graduating doctoral students, mentoring postdoctoral fellows, effective teaching at the graduate levels, and fostering inclusive excellence.
