BIOINFORMATICS FACULTY POSITIONS (3)

College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences
University of California, Riverside

The College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of California, Riverside invites 
applications for three new faculty members in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Appointments 
will be made at the ASSISTANT, ASSOCIATE and FULL PROFESSOR levels. Successful candidates will join 
an innovative and multidisciplinary Institute of Integrative Genome Biology (IIGB) that connects 
theoretical and experimental researchers from different departments in Life, Physical and Mathematical 
Sciences, Engineering and various campus based Centers, e.g. the Center for Plant Cell Biology. The 
Center for Plant Cell Biology and IIGB have a vibrant faculty and excellent state-of-the-art facilities 
with advanced instrumentation and technical support in genomics, proteomics, microscopy and imaging, 
and bioinformatics.

Each individual will become a member of a major academic department in his/her area of expertise with 
opportunities for a secondary appointment in a variety of departments and colleges. Ideal candidates 
will develop state-of-the-art research on integrative data analysis and interpretation using mathematical 
and statistical models in biological systems. Such individuals will be catalysts to initiate and strengthen 
multidisciplinary collaborations addressing fundamental biological questions in model and non-model organisms. 
The research emphasis should be on integrative approaches, such as systems biology, networks analysis, 
comparative genomics, computational chemical genomics and structural bioinformatics.

Successful candidates will be expected to establish and maintain vigorous, innovative and collaborative 
research programs, have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate 
levels, and participate in departmental and interdepartmental graduate programs. Applicants must hold a 
Ph.D., with a minimum of one year postdoctoral experience or equivalent preferred.
