UCI invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor position to join the faculty of the newly formed Department of Systems Biology in the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine.
Systems Biology seeks to address unmet needs in the biological sciences at all levels of analysis, from molecules to species. It focuses on the understanding of biological networks and complexity, leveraging theory, models, experimentation, data science and AI. As it is a highly interdisciplinary field, qualified candidates may have backgrounds in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science or any biological subdiscipline, but are expected to have demonstrated a commitment to Systems Biology approaches in their research.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D., M.D.-Ph.D., or equivalent degree(s) and demonstrate evidence of a rigorous research program based on prior research productivity and future research plans. Applicants are expected to contribute to teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels and demonstrate a commitment to service and leadership at UCI and wider communities. Please submit a curriculum vitae, 3-page description of research interests and accomplishments, 1-page statement of teaching and mentoring experience, and the contact details for three referees. Information on the department is available at: Systems Biology | UC Irvine Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences
The successful candidate will be able to leverage and complement existing strengths of the Department of Systems Biology, as well as the larger Mathematical, Computational and Systems Biology research communities, as represented by the UCI Center for Complex Biological Systems.
