Faculty Cluster Hire in Data Analytics for Biological and Physical Sciences
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has embarked on a
cluster hiring plan to recruit multiple faculty members in data analytics
for biological and physical sciences in School of Science.
As a rapidly increasing trend, research at the forefront in biological and
physical sciences produces huge datasets. The success of these research
projects thus highly relies on the development of data analytics tools to
rapidly and accurately extract useful information from large datasets. As
primary beneficiaries of new concepts in data science, the applications in
biological and physical sciences reciprocally push the boundaries of data
science. Therefore, the development in the area of data analytics can
greatly benefit multiple disciplines at HKUST including Mathematics,
Chemistry, Life Science, Physics and Ocean Science. To this end, we are
looking for top-tier researchers who are capable of assembling different
knowledge domains and become the agents that can, and will, facilitate cross
-disciplinary collaborations between all departments, bringing biological,
physical and mathematical sciences together and closer to industry.
Applications are invited for substantiation-track faculty positions at all
ranks of Professor/Associate Professor/Assistant Professor at School of
Science, HKUST. Joint appointments in more than one academic departments are
encouraged especially for senior hires. Successful candidates should have
a PhD degree in related fields and preferably have demonstrated a solid
research track record in data analytics. He/She are expected to develop
cutting-the-edge data analytics tools for biological and physical sciences.
The areas of focus include biological structures and dynamics, data-driven
quantum chemistry tools, information physics, genome-mining based bioactive
compound discovery, molecular and interaction networks, ocean data mining
and visualizations, digital pathology and genome analysis, health
informatics, cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and image analysis. Apart
from an exceptional research record, successful candidates should
demonstrate strong potential in teaching.
Salary is highly competitive and will be commensurate with qualifications
and experience. Fringe benefits include medical/dental benefits, annual
leave, and housing benefits where applicable. For appointment at the rank
of Assistant Professor, initial appointment will normally be on a three-year
contract. A gratuity will be payable upon completion of contract.
Founded in 1991, HKUST is a world-renowned international research university
in Asia’s most vibrant city. The University comprises more than 500
faculty members whose research ranges from science to engineering, business,
humanities and social sciences. It promotes interdisciplinary studies,
dedicated to educating all-rounded students to acquire a strong
entrepreneurial spirit and innovative thinking with a global outlook. HKUST
has been ranked among the top universities in Asia by QS Asian University
Rankings. It ranks 16th in the latest Global Employability University
Survey reported by the New York Times, and remains No. 1 in Greater China
area. English is the medium of teaching, research and administration.
Application Procedure
Applications should include a full CV, statement of research, statement of
teaching, and arrange three letters of recommendations to the Search
Committee for Cluster Hire in Data Analytics for Biological and Physical
Sciences, by e-mail to [email protected]
Candidates are strongly encouraged to submit their applications by Dec 1,
2018, and review of applications will begin immediately afterwards. However
, applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. |
