UAlabama ComputationalBiologist<br />
Faculty Position - Computational Biologist<br />
The University of Alabama The Department of Biological<br />
Sciences at The University of Alabama invites applicants<br />
for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank<br />
of ASSISTANT PROFESSOR in COMPUTATIONAL<br />
BIOLOGY to begin August 2013. All areas of computational<br />
biology and bioinformatics will be considered.<br />
Applications from candidates with a demonstrated<br />
record of developing and/or applying computational<br />
approaches to study biological questions in<br />
areas including comparative genomics and transcriptomics,<br />
evolutionary genomics, phylogenomics, genetics,<br />
cell and molecular biology, and systems biology are<br />
especially encouraged to apply.<br />
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in the biological sciences<br />
or related field, with demonstrable computational<br />
and/or mathematical expertise, and post-doctoral research<br />
experience. The successful applicant will be expected<br />
to participate in the undergraduate core curriculum<br />
in addition to teaching upper-level undergraduate<br />
and graduate courses in bioinformatics, computational<br />
biology, or other related specialties (http://bsc.ua.edu/).<br />
The candidate is expected to establish<br />
an active, independent, externally funded research program<br />
that includes graduate and undergraduate student<br />
mentoring. S/he will interact with a wide variety<br />
of biologists across the department’s two core areas,<br />
Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, and Molecular<br />
and Cellular Biology. Interactions are also possible<br />
with other Science and Engineering Departments.<br />
A complete application includes (1) an application let-<br />
ter with a list of at least four references (including contact<br />
information); (2) CV; (3) statement of research<br />
interests and goals; and (4) statement of teaching interests<br />
and philosophy. Letters of reference will be requested<br />
by the search committee as appropriate. To<br />
apply, go to https://facultyjobs.ua.edu, complete the<br />
online application (Job #0807485), and upload all requested<br />
documents. Potential candidates may contact<br />
