Why Join Us:

The Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at the University of Colorado School of Medicine offers a mature, campus-integrated environment for translating complex data to the point of care. DBMI is the academic home for over 30 tenure-track faculty who use genome-scale biology, multiscale modeling, mathematical physiology, simulation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, data integration, and mathematical and predictive analytics to marry disparate but related aspects of the campus’s clinical and research portfolios. Faculty in DBMI are supported by departmental investments in research administration, business operations, software engineering, and grant and scientific writing teams. The department has established promotion and tenure expectations that recognize real-world impact through multiple paths, including developing new technologies, informatics operations requiring independent intellectual contributions, and publication of original research. 

The Anschutz Medical Campus includes a vibrant and entrepreneurial research community with multiple areas of excellence and translational impact. There are many opportunities on campus to translate data-intensive research advances into improved care. The DBMI is co-located on the Anschutz Medical Campus with the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. DBMI enjoys collaborations with numerous centers and units on campus. For example
