POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT
Assistant Professor in Plant Sciences – Computational and Statistical Plant Biology
Department of Plant Sciences, University of California, Davis
TITLE: Assistant Professor in Computational and Statistical Plant Biology
The Department of Plant Sciences in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California Davis invites applications for a 9-month tenure-track faculty appointment at the Assistant Professor level in Computational and Statistical Plant Biology. We seek candidates with a strong background in statistics and/or computational biology working in areas such as bioinformatics, quantitative genetics and genomic selection, systems biology, or ecological, evolutionary, functional, or comparative genomics. In particular we are interested in candidates whose research seeks to develop and apply quantitative methods to interrogate large data sets to improve our understanding of the connection between genotype, phenotype, and the environment. The successful candidate will have a PhD in a related discipline, preferably with postdoctoral experience. She or he will be expected to teach upper division undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of bioinformatics, statistical analysis, and experimental design; to establish an extramurally funded research program; to mentor and train students and postdoctoral scholars; and to interact with a diverse faculty including plant geneticists, breeders, physiologists, and ecologists. This position will include an appointment in the Agricultural Experiment Station, which includes the responsibility to conduct research and outreach relevant to the mission of the California Agricultural Experiment Station.
QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. or equivalent level of experience in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, Quantitative or Populations Genetics or related fields.
SALARY: Commensurate with qualifications and experience.
TO APPLY: Candidates should begin the application process by registering online at http://recruitments.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/. Please include statements of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, publication list, copies of 3 of your most important research publications, copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts (if within 5 years of either degree), and the names, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers of at least 4 professional references.
