The Faculty Cluster Initiative (FCI) at the University of Central Florida (UCF) is recruiting for a 9-month tenured professor who will act as the lead for the Genomics and Bioinformatics Cluster (https://www.ucf.edu/research/genomics-bioinformatics/). This position has an anticipated start date of August 8, 2025. An ideal candidate should have a strong background in genomics and bioinformatics, and in computational approaches used to analyze large genomic datasets. The candidate should have demonstrable leadership experience, preferably with multidisciplinary teams, and a strong record of continual extramural funding.

The new Genomics and Bioinformatics Cluster lead can join any of three host departments – The Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences (College of Medicine), Biology (College of Sciences), or Computer Science (College of Engineering and Computer Science); or be jointly appointed among them as appropriate to qualifications and interest. The cluster lead will be expected to develop a research program that strengthens their tenure home department and the cluster.
