[Pierre Baldi]

Tenure-Track Faculty Positions
Biomedical Informatics, Computational Biology, and Systems Biology
University of California, Irvine

Two junior tenure-track positions are available at the University of
California, Irvine in all areas of research at the intersection of life and
computational sciences. These appointments will be made in the Donald Bren
School of Information and Computer Sciences with possible joint appointments
in the School of Biological Sciences, the School of Physical Sciences, or
the School of Medicine. Exceptionally qualified senior candidates also will
be considered for tenured positions. These positions will be coordinated
with the interdisciplinary research programs of the UCI Institute for
Genomics and Bioinformatics.

Examples of general areas of interest include: chemical informatics,
bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, synthetic biology,
and medical informatics. Examples of specific areas of interest include:
protein structure and function prediction; molecular simulations and
docking; computational drug screening and design; comparative genomics;
analysis of high-throughput data; mathematical modeling of biological
systems. Research methods should encompass computational, statistical, or
machine-learning approaches. 

UCI is targeted as a growth campus for the University of California. It is
one of the youngest UC campuses, yet ranked 10th among the nation's best
public universities by US News & World Report. Salary and other compensation
(including priority access to on-campus faculty housing) are competitive
with the nation's finest public universities. For an overview of UCI, see
