Lewis-Sigler Fellows are expected to have enough experience and maturity to articulate their own research program, although for both positions we favor fresh PhDs.

Begin forwarded message: > From: Terry Hwa <hwa(a)ucsd.edu> > Subject: quantitative biology positions at UC San Diego > Date: October 4, 2011 9:16:27 PM PDT > To: Terence Hwa <thwa(a)ucsd.edu> > > > > Dear Friends, > > I am writing to tell you about some exciting opportunities for growth in the general area of quantitative biology at U.C. San Diego. Attached is a joint ad for 5 experimental searches at an assortment of levels being conducted across biology, physics, and chemistry, as well as two senior theorist positions (one in physics, another in chemistry). These positions are a part of a multi-year initiative to establish a world-class program in quantitative biology, broadly interpreted as an iterated dialogue between quantitative experimentation and theoretical reasoning of living systems. A similar number of positions are expected in the next two years. > > It is our goal to use these positions judiciously to assemble a dream team in quantitative biology, building on the vast base of biological research in the La Jolla basin, and leading the way to a new era in the biosciences. We encourage you to pass this information to interested junior and senior colleagues to pursue these opportunities together. > > thank you and best wishes, > > Terry Hwa > > > -- Andrej Sali, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences Director, California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences at UCSF Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California at San Francisco UCSF MC 2552 Byers Hall Room 503B 1700 4th Street San Francisco, CA 94158-2330, USA Tel +1 (415) 514-4227; Fax +1 (415) 514-4231 Assistant: Ms. Hilary Mahon, hilary(a)salilab.org, Tel +1 (415)514-4228; Lab +1 (415) 514-4233, 4258 Email sali(a)salilab.org; Web http://salilab.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: faculty positions in systems biology and biostatistics Date: Sat, 01 Oct 2011 12:12:59 -0700 From: David Ojcius <david.ojcius(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: dojcius(a)ucmerced.edu To: tef(a)cgl.ucsf.edu Dear Dr. Ferrin, I'm writing to draw your attention to a search for two tenure-track faculty positions in systems biology and biostatistics that may be of interest to your post-docs or former graduate students. The positions are in the Molecular Cell Biology group at the newest campus of the University of California (UC) in Merced. Applications of special relevance to research emphases include stem cell biology, diseases such as metabolic or inflammatory disorders, and microbial systems relevant to human disease. Interested individuals can refer to the full postings at: http://jobs.ucmerced.edu/n/academic/position.jsf?positionId=3523 http://jobs.ucmerced.edu/n/academic/position.jsf?positionId=3528 Sincerely yours, David Ojcius Professor, Molecular Cell Biology University of California, Merced e-mail:dojcius@ucmerced.edu <mailto:dojcius@ucmerced.edu>
