Department of Systems and Computational Biomedicine | New York, NY


Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor position in the newly established Department of Systems and Computational Biomedicine. We are conducting a broad search for outstanding junior investigators developing computational, quantitative, experimental, or artificial-intelligence-based approaches to fundamental and translational questions in human biology and medicine.

The department brings together strengths in computational biology, systems biology, genomics, technology development, and clinical investigation. Current areas of particular interest include machine learning for biomedicine, computational genomics and single-cell or spatial biology,multimodal integration of molecular profiling with clinical data, predictive modeling of disease risk and progression, and next-generation molecular measurement technologies. Candidates whose work bridges across data generation, computation, mechanism and clinical application are especially encouraged to apply.


The successful candidate will establish an innovative, independent research program, contribute to a collaborative intellectual community, mentor trainees and forge close partnerships with basic scientists and clinicians across WCM. Research may be primarily computational, experimental, or integrative.


The department offers a highly collaborative environment with strong computational and data-science support, access to state-of-the-art research cores, and close ties across the Tri-Institutional community (WCM, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and The Rockefeller University), Cornell Tech, and Cornell University's Ithaca campus. The position includes laboratory and/or computational space, a competitive start-up package, and structured mentoring and promotion support.

Qualifications:

• PhD, MD, MD/PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree in a relevant field.
• At least three years of postdoctoral or equivalent research experience.
• A record of research excellence and strong potential for independent scientific leadership.
• Commitment to mentoring, teaching, and an inclusive academic community.


Application instructions:

Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement (one page summarizing prior work and two pages describing future goals and directions), and three referenceletters on appropriate letterhead. Review of applications will begin November 2026 and continue on a rolling basis until the position is filled with a negotiable anticipated start date in 2027.
