Positions available:
Biosystems Division Director
Associate or Full Professor, CID
Associate or Full Professor, Bio
Assistant Professor, MIS, Two positions
Virginia Tech is an equal opportunity/a�rmative action institution
The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) is a world-class research institute
in the life sciences, integrating computational and experimental science
in a transdisciplinary, team-based research environment. The Institute’s
mission is to solve society’s most important problems in the life sciences and
biomedicine.
About Team Science. VBI strongly emphasizes team science and
organizes research outside the boundaries of traditional academic
disciplines. VBI is organized around four divisions or program areas:
BioSystems, Medical Informatics and Systems, Network Dynamics and
Simulation Science, and CyberInfrastructure. Extensive national and
international collaborations complement the expertise of the research
groups, including active interactions with several biomedical research
centers and medical schools.
Job Announcement
Research at VBI spans many disciplines but has at its foundation the sciences of
biology, computer science and information technologies. Faculty at VBI use a
wide variety of methods and tools that range from simulation and modeling of
biological networks, statistical genetics and large-scale comparative genomics to
computational systems biology and di�erent cyberinfrastructure-based resources.
These tools and methods are being used to investigate plant and animal pathogens,
make advances in infectious disease research and to better understand a wide range
of biological, information, social and technological systems. A competitive allowance
for laboratory start up and operational support will be provided. The transfer of intact
research teams is encouraged.
About BioSystems:
Transdisciplinary research in the BioSystems Division takes a systems view that
encompasses experimental and computational methodologies. The Division
comprises 10 faculty research groups with diverse interests that blend computational
biology, genetics, microbiology, statistics, biology, mathematics, systems biology,
computer science, and plant pathology.
About CyberInfrastructure:
VBI’s Cyberinfrastructure Division (CID) engages in cyberinfrastructure systems
development, and deployment and integration of health sciences activities (“bench-
to-bedside”). The informatics-based CID develops and deploys large-scale
information systems, with substantial wet lab capability and experience to support
hypotheses validation. The division applies the principles of cyberinfrastructure to
integrate data, computational infrastructure, and people. CID has developed many
public resources for curated, diverse molecular and literature data from various
infectious disease systems and implemented the processes, systems, and databases
required to support them. It also conducts research by applying its methods and
data to make new discoveries.
About Medical Informatics and Systems:
The Medical Informatics and Systems (MIS) program works at the interface of
medicine, molecular biology and informaticsIt focuses on the study of human
disease from an ‘-omics’ perspective, speci�cally the analysis, integration and
exploitation of very large ‘-omics’ data sets, and the analysis of clinical operations
to create health information technology (Health IT) solutions. MIS research is
inherently transdisciplinary, oscillating between the laboratory and informatics
analysis, where informatics can inspire a laboratory validation experiment or be
used to analyze and interpret large data generated by laboratory experimentation to
create new actionable knowledge. This ultimately yields new discoveries and work
to translate them into clinical practice through a variety of mechanisms, including
commercialization.
