Faculty Position in Molecular or Evolutionary Genomics..
The Molecular & Computational Biology Section of the Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences at the University of Southern California invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Molecular or Evolutionary Genomics. We seek an innovative, productive scientist using cell and molecular biology approaches, evolutionary principles, or computational tools to address basic questions at a genomic level. We especially welcome applicants working at intersection of these disciplines.
The position will be in the Molecular and Computational Biology Program, which is a unique collaborative environment with strong expertise in quantitative model-based acquisition and analyses of molecular biological data. The MCB Program includes an NIH Center of Excellence in Genome Science with a special emphasis on genotype to phenotype mapping.
This position provides opportunity for collaboration within and beyond the Molecular and Computational Biology Program, including with the Neurobiology Program, Marine Environmental Biology Program and Integrative Biology Program. Strong links to world-class epidemiology and epigenetics research groups on the nearby USC Health Sciences Campus are other important assets. Field studies might be facilitated by the Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina Island. The position will provide access to students in multiple graduate programs and a competitive start up package. The University of Southern California has extensive facilities for high performance computing, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics.
