Open Positions at CBCB

Professor and Director. The University of Maryland invites applications for Director of the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Candidates are expected to be prominent scholars with publications and research experience at the interface of biological science and computing. Their primary responsibility will be to lead a nationally visible research program complementing existing strengths in computational genomics, proteomics, and molecular evolution. They will also be expected to promote the CBCB, and help build collaborative relationships, both on and off-campus. Information about the Center can be found at http://www.cbcb.umd.edu. Collectively, the CBCB faculty spans the fields of computer science, mathematics and statistics, biology, and biochemistry. The Center is housed in contiguous space and has access to significant high-end computing infrastructure through the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. CBCB faculty members are also affiliated with at least one other campus academic unit appropriate to their interests. There is ample potential for collaboration with other organizations in the area, such as the NIH, the JCVI, and the Smithsonian Institution. For more information contact the search chair, Thomas D. Kocher (tdk@umd.edu). To apply, send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and names of three references, following the instructions at http://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/hiring/. Review of applications will begin November 15, 2011.
