Quantitative Biology

The Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in conjunction with the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) and the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences (CCGS), seeks a colleague who is applying quantitative and/or computational methods to the study of molecular, cellular or developmental systems relevant to cancer. Examples of appropriate specializations include, but are not limited to, the use of genomics-based, quantitative tools to study physical processes within the cell, developmental processes unfolding at multiple scales, and epigenetic control of genome function. Research may or may not be purely computational. The search is open to any rank, with exceptional junior candidates especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will contribute to a new initiative in Quantitative Biology and would likely be affiliated with the NIH-funded graduate Curriculum in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (http://bcb.unc.edu). For inquiries, please contact Dr. Jeff Dangl (dangl@email.unc.edu; 919-962-5624) or Dr. Jason Lieb (jlieb@bio.unc.edu; 919-843-3228).

The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in a relevant field by the effective date (on or after July 1, 2010). The University of North Carolina is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
