Opportunity: Univ. Maryland, College Park - Tenure-Track Faculty Position - Ctr. for Bioinformatics & Comp. Biol.

University of Maryland, College Park
Department of Computer Science
Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

BACKGROUND

The University of Maryland, College Park, invites applications for faculty positions at the ASSISTANT, ASSOCIATE, or FULL PROFESSOR level in the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (cbcb.umd.edu), to be appointed jointly with the Computer Science Department (http://www.cs.umd.edu). After hiring a new Director in 2005, the University committed the resources to recruit six additional tenured and tenure-track faculty for the Center as part of an effort to maintain a world-class research group in bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science, genetics, and genomics. Parallel searches are ongoing in the areas of evolutionary biology and human genomics.

All applicants are expected to have strong publications and research experience in the areas of biological science and computing. Senior candidates will be expected to lead internationally prominent research programs in computational aspects of genomics and bioinformatics. Experience in interdisciplinary collaboration is an important asset. Exceptional candidates from areas outside of computer science are also encouraged to apply.

The faculty will be housed in contiguous space dedicated to the Center, and will have access to a high-end computing infrastructure through the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies.
