As part of a major, multi-year initiative to expand research activities in Biohealth Informatics across the IU Bloomington campus, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, and the School of Public Health-Bloomington invite applications for multiple tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor ranks to begin in the Fall of 2024 (earlier or later start dates can be negotiated). Appointments will be in one or more departments, including Informatics, Computer Science, Biology, Health & Wellness Design, or Applied Health Science.

We are particularly interested in researchers working in the following areas, though this list is not exhaustive and candidates with research foci in related, unlisted areas should submit a query:

• Application of AI, machine learning, computer vision, complex systems, or networks tools and techniques as they relate to biology, health, and wellness, including LLM integration and novel uses of natural language processing (NLP) approaches to large-scale datasets,
• Biomedical complexity, personalized/individualized/precision health, healthcare cybersecurity,
• Biological data privacy,
• Consumer health IT and digital health,
• Genomics, bioinformatics, or computational genome science/genome informatics, health informatics or public health informatics,
• Human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-robot interaction as they relate to health and wellness, including assistive robotics,
