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.
