UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS

As part of a major initiative to strengthen Computational Biology at the University of Michigan, we aim to hire several Assistant/Associate Professors to develop independent research programs involving the modeling of complex biological systems.  This work should address multiple levels of organization that connect molecules to function. We are interested in multi-scale, integrative analyses of metabolic pathways, regulatory networks, signal transduction cascades, and physiological systems.  Research may be strictly computational or involve a wet lab component.  Candidates should have an earned doctoral degree, at least two years post-doctoral experience, and a passion for teaching graduate and/or professional students.  Successful candidates will have a tenure-track appointment in a Medical School Basic Science department and a research appointment in the Center for Computational Medicine and Biology, with its Bioinformatics Graduate Program and NIH National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics.  You will have a generous start-up package, access to our extensive campus-wide computational environment, and encouragement to collaborate with colleagues in interdisciplinary Centers on Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolomics and Obesity, Neurosciences, Organogenesis, Infectious Diseases, Cardiovascular Disorders, Genetics, Cancer Biology, and Complex Systems. 

      Please submit electronically a cover letter, your research plans, curriculum vitae, any current grant support, and contact information for four references.
