Job description

Description
The Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&M University (TAMU) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Bioinformatics/Biological AI. This is a 9-month appointment with an anticipated start date of Fall 2027. This position is one of seven faculty hires the Department of Biology will make during the 2026-2027 academic year across a range of research areas. As part of a major departmental expansion aligned with our 2020-2029 Strategic Plan, this search aims to strengthen research excellence across broad areas of biology by supporting a research program that incorporates bioinformatics or artificial intelligence approaches. The research themes could align with core areas of departmental focus, including microbiology and biological Resilience, Synthetic Biology, Evolution, neuroscience, and Biological Clocks. We are especially interested in candidates who employ interdisciplinary, collaborative, and innovative approaches to address compelling questions in the biological sciences through computational, quantitative, and data-driven methods. Successful applicants are expected to develop and sustain an externally funded research program, contribute to undergraduate and graduate education, and engage in departmental and university service. We welcome applicants whose research spans disciplinary boundaries and supports research programs ranging from basic biological mechanisms to applied biomedical, environmental, or translational sciences.
Texas A&M's research enterprise is internationally recognized for excellence across the life sciences. The Department of Biology (www.bio.tamu.edu) provides a collegial, collaborative research environment that supports large undergraduate and graduate programs and promotes integration of students into active research. Faculty benefit from access to world-class research and teaching infrastructure, competitive startup packages, and participation in several interdisciplinary doctoral programs, including Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, and Neuroscience. The department also houses the Center for Biological Clocks Research, which supports research in circadian biology and sleep.
In support of growth in the biological sciences, major remodeling of teaching space is underway, and architectural design for a new Biology building is in progress to add significant research space for our faculty.
Texas A&M University is in Bryan-College Station. This vibrant and fast-growing community combines arts and entertainment, strong public schools, and a high quality of life. Situated in the heart of the Houston-Dallas-Austin triangle, the region offers the amenities of a large metropolitan area while maintaining a welcoming, small-town feel.
Qualifications
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Biology, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related discipline, and demonstrate a strong track record of impactful research in bioinformatics, computational biology, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or related areas relevant to the biological sciences. We seek candidates whose work demonstrates creativity, research excellence, and strong potential for interdisciplinary impact, particularly through connections to one or more of the department's focal areas: Biological Resilience, Synthetic Biology, Evolution, or Biological Clocks.
Application Instructions
For full consideration, application materials must include a short cover letter (one page), a curriculum vitae, and a personal statement that includes philosophy and plans for research (maximum three pages), teaching (maximum two pages), and service, and contact information for three references. These materials must be submitted online at apply.interfolio.com/189103 . Please ensure all required documents are complete and accurate to facilitate a smooth application process.
Review of applications will begin around September 1, but applications will continue to be accepted until the final deadline of October 1.
