Positions in Complex Biological Systems

The California Institute of Technology invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the area of complex biological systems in the Division of Biology. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to) quantitative and interdisciplinary studies of the dynamical behavior of biological networks (involving molecules, cells, circuits, organisms, or synthetic approaches). We are particularly interested in individuals who propose to combine computational and experimental approaches to understand emergent properties of biological systems. Joint appointments in other Divisions may be arranged as appropriate.

Appointment will be contingent upon completion of all requirements for a doctoral degree and successful research experience in an appropriate area of biology, biochemistry, chemistry, biophysics, physics or related fields. Outstanding candidates who have strong commitments to research and teaching are encouraged to apply.

Please submit on-line applications by December 31, 2009. To submit on-line application click here and include a brief cover letter, a curriculum vitae, relevant publications, and a description of proposed research. Instructions will be given for submission of letters of reference when you apply on-line. The California Institute of Technology is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Women, minorities veterans, and disabled persons are encouraged to apply.
