Assistant​/Associate​/Full Professor Faculty Position in Biostatistics

The Division of Public Health Sciences (PHS) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) invites applications for a professor-track faculty position in the Biostatistics Program at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank. We welcome applicants with a PhD (or equivalent) in biostatistics, statistics, or a closely related quantitative field.

We seek scholars with training in biostatistics/statistics and demonstrated statistical thinking—the ability to translate scientific questions into quantitative frameworks, interrogate assumptions, design principled analyses, and connect methods to impact. The ideal candidate has passion for advancing methodology to solve cutting‑edge biomedical questions, particularly in cancer research; can adapt to new technologies/techniques (e.g., artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)) and emerging data types (electronic health records (EHR), biobanks and disease registries, and next‑generation genomics including single‑cell and spatial omics);

communicates clearly with colleagues in other disciplines; and values open‑mindedness and bold, unbounded research ideas.

The Biostatistics Program offers a supportive environment for innovation, with deep ties across basic, clinical, and population sciences and access to rich data, computing, and collaborative teams. PHS at Fred Hutch excels in leading large‑scale population and prevention studies, providing specimen‑ and data‑rich resources that drive innovative biostatistical and statistical methods. Opportunities for broader impact include initiatives such as the Cancer AI Alliance: https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).

All faculty at the Fred Hutch are expected to lead research programs and to receive support to protect their time for this pursuit. This position strongly supports independent research advancing biostatistical and statistical methodology.
