the last 250 years, including some of the most important<br />
collections from South America. In addition to research,<br />
curators are expected to promote and insure the<br />
conservation, preparation, care, use, and security of biological<br />
collections. The successful candidate will have<br />
a commitment to expanding and using the Academy’s<br />
ornithology collection in research, education, and outreach.<br />
Drexel has committed substantial resources for<br />
growth of the BEES Department. The successful candidate<br />
will have a commitment to teaching undergraduate<br />
and graduate students in BEES.<br />
Candidates must have a PhD, a record of scientific<br />
achievement in research on the diversity, evolutionary<br />
biology and ecology of birds, and a strong interest in<br />
undergraduate and graduate teaching. Research expertise<br />
might include the areas of systematics, phylogenetics,<br />
comparative organismal biology, biogeography,<br />
biodiversity informatics, conservation or evolutionary<br />
and ecological dynamics.<br />
Applicants with research programs that complement<br />
and enrich existing interests at the Academy and in<br />
the BEES department and bring opportunities for cross<br />
institutional collaboration will be given high priority.<br />
The successful candidate will maintain a dynamic, field<br />
and museum-based, extramurally funded research program<br />
and will contribute to instruction in the newly<br />
established Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental<br />
Sciences at Drexel University<br />
Submit application materials by November 30, 2012.<br />
Anticipated start date for the position is September 1,<br />
2013.<br />

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine, one of the<br />
leading medical schools in New York City, is seeking to<br />
fill multiple tenure track faculty positions in the newly<br />
formed Department of Systems and Computational Biology.<br />
Established in April 2008, the main goal of the<br />
new department is to advance our understanding of living<br />
systems by developing theoretical, computational<br />
and experimental approaches to study complex biological<br />
systems.<br />
The College has 750 medical students, 325 graduate<br />
students and 360 post-doctoral fellows in training and<br />
boasts a strong research faculty covering broad areas of<br />
experimental biology, offering outstanding opportunities<br />
for collaborative interactions. The 200,000 square<br />
foot Center for Genetic and Translational Medicine at<br />
Einstein, which opened in late 2007, locates computational,<br />
systems and experimental scientists in physical<br />
proximity to foster interdisciplinary communication<br />
and collaboration. Highly competitive start-up packages<br />
are available. We seek outstanding scientists with<br />
broad experience and demonstrated collaborative interactions<br />
with experimental or clinical investigators.<br />
Candidates should have strength in a physical, mathematical<br />
or computational field at the Ph.D. or equivalent<br />
level. Experience applying these skills to a biological<br />
or biomedical area (demonstrated through publications<br />
or support) is also required. Areas of interest<br />
include, but are not limited to: Modeling cellular<br />
processes, such as signaling, transcriptional regulation<br />
and immune response; Pathway analysis; Genetic networks;<br />
Functional proteomics and genomics; Evolution<br />
of structure and function; Computational neuroscience;<br />
Mathematical and computational modeling of complex<br />
traits and diseases; QM and dynamic approaches to<br />
enzymatic catalysis and drug design. No online applications<br />
will be accepted. Please follow application<br />
instructions below.<br />
Applicants should send a letter of interest, C.V., statement<br />
of research and teaching interests, and names of<br />
three referees, in electronic format to:<br />
