Biological Synthesis
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville requests nominations
and applications of individuals to lead the
National Institute for Mathematical and Biological
Synthesis (NIMBioS). We seek an internationallyrecognized
biologist or mathematician with extensive
experience working at the interface of these two fields
to direct NIMBioS over the next five years of its support
from the National Science Foundation and to provide
the vision and guidance necessary to aid the University
in planning for the longer-term sustainability of NIM-
BioS beyond the supported renewal period, which ends
in 2018.
NIMBioS has been highly successful in responding to
the needs for research and education across a diversity
of biological disciplines that benefit from collaborative
efforts with mathematical and computational scientists.
We seek an innovative leader who can guide the current
and future activities of this national resource.
Requirements are a Ph.D. and research experience to
be appointed to a permanent position as Full Professor
in a University Department, demonstrated experience
managing federally-funded projects appropriate to

accomplishment in the biological sciences. The
candidate should have experience guiding students and
post-doctoral researchers, demonstrated ability to compose
effective research proposals for external support,
experience developing partnerships, and a commitment
to enhancing the diversity of those involved in interdisciplinary
research. Departmental affiliation of the successful
candidate will be determined based upon input
from the candidate, appropriate departments, and the
University administration. Nominations and applications
from individuals from under-represented groups in
biology and mathematics are particularly encouraged.
For further information, please contact Prof. Daniel
Simberloff at dsimberloff@utk.edu.
Applications should include a cover letter detailing your
experience and interest in the position, a current CV,
