[IEEE-bhpjobs] Virginia Commonwealth University professor desired

[Walter Heger]

Please forward this email to any appropriate potential candidates in
Computational Bioinformatics.

The Center for the Study of Biological Complexity (www.vcu.edu/csbc
<http://www.vcu.edu/csbc>) is recruiting a key faculty member (tenure
track, assistant, associate, or full professor level) in an area of
research (Computational Bioinformatics) related to your interests (see
attached ad).

The recruit will be in the Center for the Study of Biological
Complexity
and the relevant department in the School of Engineering. He or she
will
focus on developing a robust, independent research program. Research
interests will include bioinformatics algorithm development,
interpretation and visualization of multi-scale/multi-dimensional
biological datasets, database architecture and design, simulation of
complex biological systems, or other relevant areas of computational
biology and bioinformatics. An interest in developing an independent,
externally funded research program is essential. The recruit will be
expected to develop a course in the area of computational
bioinformatics
and algorithms for graduate students in bioinformatics.

Interested individuals should send a statement of research and teaching
interests, a curriculum vitae, three references and supporting
documents
by March 1, 2006, by e-mail (preferred) to: Gregory A. Buck, Center for
the Study of Biological Complexity, Virginia Commonwealth University,
P.O. Box 842030.  Richmond, Virginia 23284-2030 (buck at mail2.vcu.edu
<mailto:buck at mail2.vcu.edu>).

Thank you!

Center for the Study of
    BIOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY
Computational Bioinformatics - Faculty

The Center for the Study of Biological Complexity and the School of 
Engineering at VCU invite applications for tenure track assistant, associate 
or full professor level position in computational bioinformatics.  The 
successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, 
or a related field and is expected to develop a program of externally funded 
research. Interests should include algorithm development, interpretation and 
visualization of multi-scale/multi-dimensional biological datasets, database 
architecture and algorithm design, simulation of complex biological systems, 
or other relevant areas of computational biology and bioinformatics. The 
successful candidate will be expected to develop a course in computational 
bioinformatics and algorithms for bioinformatics graduate students.

The new recruit will join the Center for the Study of Biological Complexity 
(www.vcu.edu/csbc/) in VCU Life Sciences, and the School of Engineering as 
part of our effort to integrate Life Sciences and Engineering. The School of 
Engineering, launched in 1996 and now enrolling over 1000 students, is home 
to the new department of Chemical and Life Science Engineering, Computer 
Science and Biomedical Engineering. The Center is an academic think tank 
that promotes integrative and interdisciplinary approaches to biological and 
biomedical research. The Center houses VCU’s high performance computing 
facilities, including hardware, software, databases and support for 
bioinformatics, modeling and scientific visualization. The Center also 
maintains state of the art resources for genomic, proteomic and 
pharmacogenomic research, and houses students in VCU’s programs in 
bioinformatics and systems biology.

Send a statement of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, three 
references and supporting documents by March 1, 2006, to Gregory A. Buck, 
Center for the Study of Biological Complexity, Virginia Commonwealth 
University, P.O. Box 842030, Richmond, Virginia 23284-2030, by e-mail at
