Bioinformatics Faculty Positions Open

The interdepartmental Computational Bioscience Program of the University of Colorado School of Medicine is soliciting applications for computational biology and bioinformatics faculty at the junior and senior levels. The recruitment spans all departments, and is open to scientists doing outstanding computational research relevant to any aspect of human health.

Current program faculty lead externally funded research programs in areas including knowledge-based systems, microarray analysis, biomedical language processing, and biophysical protein structure prediction. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): whole genome comparison, polymorphism analysis, informatics related to Type I Diabetes or autoimmune diseases, cancer informatics, neuroinformatics, and mass spec informatics (particularly as related to proteomics and metabolomics).

The School's highly ranked and extraordinarily collaborative faculty is well motivated for coequal research interactions with informaticians. Research facilities available to faculty include: a 200 processor Apple G5 cluster; a large memory (64GB of RAM) 8 processor IBM p690; a 10TB disk array; and state of the art molecular instrumentation cores in, e.g., expression microarrays (Affymetrix and other), NMR structure determination, and high performance mass spectrometry. The program's recruitment resources include substantial startup packages and extensive space in the exciting new biomedical research complex at Fitzsimons.

To apply, please send your CV, names of at least three references, and a statement of teaching and research interests to Bioinformatics Search Committee, c/o Kathy Thomas, UCHSC at Fitzsimons, Mail stop 8303, P.O. Box 6511, Aurora, CO 80045-0511, or by email to Kathy.R.Thomas@UCHSC.edu. Review of applications will begin 2/1/06 and continue until the position is filled.
