Faculty Positions in Integrative/Systems Biology

The Biology Department invites applications for two appointments, pending budgetary approval. Both positions are open to candidates at either the Assistant or Full Professor level. Successful candidates will participate in the development of integrative/systems biology both within the department and as part of a University-wide interdisciplinary initiative in Systems Biology and Bioinformatics for which additional faculty hires are anticipated. Junior candidates will be expected to establish an independent research program with extramural funding and participate in both undergraduate and graduate teaching. Senior candidates will be expected to play a leadership role in the Systems Biology and Bioinformatics Program, and should also have an interest in future service as chair of a broad-based Biology Department with a commitment to both undergraduate and graduate education.

Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and statement of research and teaching interests in a single electronic document. E-mail this document and three representative reprints to the Chair of the appropriate search committee and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent independently to the same email address. Review of applications will begin November 15, 2009.

Cell Signaling Networks: The research area of this appointment will involve the use of state-of-the-art approaches to study cell signaling and gene regulatory networks. Please submit applications to Dr. Ulla Hansen, Chair, Cell Signaling Search Committee, Department of Biology, Boston University at cmsearch@bu.edu.

Evolutionary Functional Genomics: The research area of this appointment will be a systems level approach to evolutionary ecology and/or functional genomics of non-model organisms. Please submit applications to Dr. Michael Sorenson, Chair, Evolutionary Functional Genomics Search Committee, Department of Biology, Boston University at ebesearch@bu.edu.
