Applications are invited for a full professorship in Immunological Bioinformatics at the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis, BioCentrum-DTU (BiC), Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
BiC represents the largest concentration of academic biotechnological research in Denmark, and is involved in research and teaching in the areas of molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics and systems biology.
The position is placed at the bioinformatics and systems biology research center (CBS). CBS presently comprises 45 academics, in addition to technical and administrative staff. The research at CBS is organized into eight research groups, where the new professor will head the group for Immunological Bioinformatics. The center has its own experimental facility with cell lab, 2D proteomics equipment, Affymetrix and custom array equipment. The seven other research groups address topics within: Systems biology of gene expression, Protein bioinformatics, Chemoinformatics, Molecular evolution, Nutritional immunology, Comparative microbial genomics, and Integrative systems biology (see http://www.cbs.dtu.dk for further details). Collaboration between the groups and other relevant DTU departments is highly encouraged.
The position in Immunological Bioinformatics will be offered to an individual who has made well documented research contributions at an international level within the area. Furthermore, it is important that the candidate has documented proficiency within scientific leadership and approach problems from a biological perspective. The current research topics in the Immunological Bioinformatics group include: bioinformatics for T- and B-cell epitope identification, correlation between protein function and immunogenicity, genome-wide analyses of organisms being relevant in bioterrorism contexts, modeling of the structure and dynamics of the immune system by systems biology approaches.
Applicants for a full professorship must be able to document outstanding research at an international level within one or more of the research topics mentioned above.
In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to
• scientific production, research potential and ability to lead and develop a research team
• the ability to teach
• the ability to promote and utilize research results
• a broad experience base, including international experience
• the ability to contribute to development of the department's internal and external cooperation.
Applications, which should be submitted in English, must include an outline of a future research plan, as well as a publication list indicating the works viewed as scientific highlights. Also, teaching materials and unpublished research papers that should be given consideration in the assessment must be enclosed.
The salary and appointment terms are negotiated in accordance with the current collective agreement for Danish University faculty members. All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
Further information can be obtained from center director, Professor Søren Brunak, tel: +45 45 25 24 77; email: brunak[at]cbs.dtu.dk.
The application with enclosures in triplicate must be received no later than 16 April 2007 at noon 12.00 (electronic applications cannot be accepted) and sent to
