The Department of Physiology invites applications for a full-time tenure stream appointment in the area of Cardiovascular Systems Biology.

We seek an outstanding individual to lead an innovative program that employs systems biology approaches to understand the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular health and disease.

In accordance with a key domain of the Temerty Medicine strategic plan, Excellence Through Equity, the Department holds the value that research excellence is dependent upon the perspectives and contributions of people from all races, gender and sexuality identities, and abilities. As such, the Department is committed to diversifying our already vibrant faculty and continuing to actively cultivate an inclusive, welcoming culture.

The successful candidate will have an established international reputation with recognized scholarship and demonstrated excellence in research in systems biology and/or data science with applications to cardiovascular biology, medicine, and/or health outcomes.

Topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to: genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence application in biological and health science, data linkage, and risk prediction modeling. 

Outstanding candidates with clearly demonstrated research excellence relevant to heart failure and cardiovascular science will be considered for the Ted Rogers Chair in Cardiovascular Systems Biology within the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research (TRCHR) Translational Biology and Engineering Program.

A track record of collaborative science, successful program building, strong research productivity and excellence, and effective leadership, demonstrated through the application materials, is essential. Through research and scholarly activities, the Chair holder will position the TRCHR as a global leader in knowledge and technology generation and translation in the areas of systems biology related to heart failure.
