Open Rank Professor - School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
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:
  • Statistics and Operations Research: includes faculty in Applied Statistics and Data Science, Operations Research, and Probability and Mathematical Statistics.
  • Mathematics: includes faculty in Pure and Applied Analysis, Algebra and Discrete Mathematics, Computational Mathematics.
  • Mathematics and Statistics Education: includes faculty in Mathematics Education and Statistics Education. Lecturers (of all ranks) belong to the Mathematics and Statistics Education division.

Organization

Working at Clemson University

Clemson is a dynamic research university located in Upstate South Carolina at the center of the booming I-85 corridor between Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta, Ga. One of the nation’s most selective public research universities according to U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review, Clemson University is the school of choice among top students in South Carolina and is increasingly competitive for the best students in the region and the nation. More than 17,100 students select from 70 undergraduate and 100 graduate degree programs through five academic colleges: Agriculture, Forestry and Life SciencesArchitecture, Arts and HumanitiesBusiness and Behavioral ScienceEngineering and Science; and Health, Education and Human Development.

Clemson’s transformation into a leading research institution — currently attracting in excess of $140 million in externally funded research and sponsored program awards per year — is based upon an academic plan that identifies eight emphasis areas in which the University has opportunities to increase education and research, to align with South Carolina’s economic development needs and to draw upon faculty strengths. Emphasis areas include automotive and transportation technology, advanced materials, biotechnology and biomedical sciences, leadership and entrepreneurship, sustainable environment, information and communication technology, family and community living, and general education.

Major economic development initiatives that have emerged from the academic plan include the Clemson International Center for Automotive Research — a 250-acre campus in Greenville, which has generated more than $225 million in public and private commitments in just four years; an advanced materials initiative at the Clemson Research Park, which includes a new LEED Silver-certified facility; and the South Carolina Health Sciences Collaborative — an initiative of the state’s three research universities and major health-care systems.

As the state’s land-grant university, Clemson reaches out to citizens, communities and businesses all over South Carolina. The Public Service Activities division includes the county-based Cooperative Extension Service, five off-campus research and education centers through the Clemson University Experiment Station and critical regulatory responsibilities for plant and animal health.

The University boasts a 1,400-acre campus on the shores of Lake Hartwell within view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surrounding the campus are 18,000 acres of University farms and woodlands devoted to research. A warm campus environment, great weather and recreational activities offered by proximity to both the natural surroundings and large cities are part of the Clemson Experience.

 

Points of interest at Clemson include the following:

The Clemson Conference Center and Inn is a state-of-the-art facility for symposia, meetings, seminars and special events. The complex includes the Madren Continuing Education and Conference Center, the Walker Golf Course and the Martin Inn.

The South Carolina Botanical Garden, a 295-acre public garden, features several thousand varieties of ornamental plants and a unique collection of nature-based sculptures.

The Robert Howell Brooks Center for the Performing Arts brings an exciting array of concert, theater, dance, comedy and other live performances to the community.

The Robert Campbell Geology Museum at the Botanical Garden displays meteorites, minerals, dinosaur fossils and the largest faceted-stone collection in the Southeast.

The T. Ed Garrison Livestock Arena is a showplace for livestock activities in the state and has hosted horse and livestock shows, rodeos, sales, 4-H activities, educational programs, and industrial and agricultural exhibitions.

Fort Hill, the home of John C. Calhoun and later of his son-in-law, University founder Thomas Green Clemson, is a registered National Historic Landmark located in the center of campus.

The Class of 1944 Visitors Center is the front door to Clemson — a friendly place to get tours, information, assistance and an introduction to this beautiful, historic university and community.
