Systems Biology

The University of California, Irvine has embarked on a recruiting initiative in Systems Biology intended to fill seven faculty positions over three years. Three positions are available this year, for which candidates will be considered from all areas of Systems Biology, including biological networks, regulatory dynamics and control, spatial dynamics and morphogenesis, synthetic biology, and mathematical and computational biology. Applications are being solicited at the Assistant, Associate and Full Professor level, and appointments can be made in any of several departments, including Developmental and Cell Biology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, Computer Science, and Statistics.

The successful applicant is expected to conduct a strong research program and to contribute to the teaching of undergraduate and graduate students. Systems Biology research and training at UCI is fostered by several interdisciplinary research units, an NIGMS National Center for Systems Biology, and Ph.D. training programs in Bioinformatics, and Mathematical and Computational Biology (for more information, see http://ccbs.bio.uci.edu). Applicants should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, bibliography, three letters of reference, and statements of research and teaching interests using the on-line recruitment system. To apply, click here, and browse to the open positions listed under the heading "Systems Biology" in the School of Biological Sciences. Applicants seeking positions at the tenured level should be sure to select the "Associate or Full Professor" listing as their entry point into the recruitment system. To receive full consideration, material should be received by January 1, 2008.
