Gene Regulation, Population/Comparative Genomics, Computational Biology and Cellular Systems Biology

Cornell University announces four tenure-track faculty searches in the areas of genomics of gene regulation, population and
comparative genomics, computational biology, and cellular systems biology. These new positions build on the university's current
strengths, and new faculty will have an opportunity to be associated with several new initiatives, including a new university-wide
Center for Comparative and Population Genomics, co-directed by Andrew Clark and Charles Aquadro, and the Weill Institute
for Cell and Molecular Biology, directed by Scott Emr. For general information about the life sciences at Cornell, please visit

GENOMIC APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF GENE REGULATION - Assistant or Associate Professor - #09798
The Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or
Associate Professor level. We seek an individual using genomic approaches to study gene regulation, and who would synergize existing departmental
strengths in genetics, comparative and population genomics, development, gene regulation, chromatin structure and replication. The ideal candidate will
integrate both experimental and bioinformatic approaches. Individuals seeking an excellent integration of experimental, computational and comparative
approaches using several model organisms will find Cornell a particularly rich environment in which to work (see, for example: www.mbg.cornell.edu,
www.bscb.cornell.edu, andwww.icmb.cornell.edu). The position includes teaching of undergraduate and graduate students. An advanced degree
(Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent) is required and postgraduate training is highly desirable. Candidates should submit electronically a CV, a 2-4 page research
statement, a 1 page teaching statement, and copies of two papers, together as a single PDF file (max 5MB) to RLL2@cornell.edu and arrange for three
letters of recommendation to be sent electronically to the same e-mail address. Questions can be addressed to Charles Aquadro or John Lis, co-chairs
of the search committee (CFA1@cornell.edu or JTL10@cornell.edu). Application review begins on November 30, 2008.

POPULATION AND/OR COMPARATIVE GENOMICS - Assistant Professor - #09770

The Department of Biological Statistics and Computational Biology (BSCB) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University seeks
candidates for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level. We expect that the successful applicant will focus on developing and applying
statistically rigorous methods to large-scale data analysis in population and/or comparative genomics, and will play a central role in the department's
program in research and teaching. BSCB is dedicated to the application of statistical, computational, and mathematical approaches to problems in modern
biology (http://www.bscb.cornell.edu). The department has broad strengths in statistics and computational biology, including comparative, evolutionary,
quantitative, and population genomics, Bayesian and computationally intensive statistics, and machine learning. The department occupies a key position
at the interface between the quantitative and biological sciences at Cornell and offers rich opportunities for collaborations with other investigators on the
Ithaca campus, and at the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. Some of the research areas with particularly high potential for collaboration
include: human genetics, agricultural genomics, canine genomics and other aspects of veterinary medicine, and evolutionary genomics of diverse
organisms. Applicants should submit a cover letter, research statement (2-3 pages), statement of teaching interests (1-2 pages), and a curriculum vitae as
well as 3-5 publications of particular relevance by emailing a single PDF file to bscb_search2@cornell.edu (please limit to 15MB). Applicants should
also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted directly to the same email address. Questions can be directed to Charles Aquadro, Chair
of the Search Committee, at CFA1@cornell.edu. Applications will be reviewed beginning November 15, 2008.

COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY AND BIOINFORMATICS - Assistant, Associate or Full Professor

Applications are invited for a tenure-track position in Computational Biology in the Computer Science Department of Cornell University. Multiple
positions are available, and depending on experience positions can be at the assistant, associate, or full professor level. Applicants must possess a Ph.D.
in computer science or a Ph.D. in a mathematical, biological or physical science with enough expertise in computer science to fit within a CS department.
The department requires demonstrated research abilities at the highest level as well as outstanding teaching ability and leadership qualities. Outstanding
applicants in all areas of computational biology will be considered. We are especially interested in individuals developing novel algorithms and statistical
approaches for research in areas including evolutionary, comparative, and population genetics and genomics; applications of new high-throughput
sequencing and measurement technologies; the role of networks in biological systems; and analysis of dynamical behavior at the sub-cellular and cellular
levels. To ensure full consideration, applications should be received by December 1, 2008, but will be accepted until all positions are filled. Applicants
should submit a curriculum vitae and brief statements of research and teaching interests through the web at http://www.cis.cornell.edu/apply, and
arrange to have at least three reference letters uploaded on the Web or sent to: Human Resources Office, Faculty Search, Department of Computer
Science, 4130 Upson Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853-7501, or via email to frecruit@cs.cornell.edu.

CELLULAR SYSTEMS BIOLOGY - Assistant or Associate Professor - #09771

A faculty position is available at the assistant/associate professor level in the areas of computational cell biology and/or cellular systems biology, ideally
with direct applications to experimental analysis. The selected candidate will be jointly affiliated with the Department of Biological Statistics and
Computational Biology (BSCB) and the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology, and must have interests and expertise consistent with both
appointments. Applicants should have experience addressing fundamental questions in molecular or cell biology using rigorous, quantitative methods;
should integrate bioinformatic and experimental components in their research. Training in both cell/molecular biology and a quantitative field such as
statistics, computer science, or applied mathematics is ideal, but not required. Priority will be given to applicants who are using model systems and joint
experimental/computational approaches to elucidate the molecular basis of cellular function, development, and evolution. The Weill Institute for Cell and
Molecular Biology (http://www.icmb.cornell.edu) will initially consist of 12 faculty members housed in a recently completed $160M building (Weill
Hall). Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a research plan (2-3 pages), and a statement of teaching interests, by emailing a single PDF file to
bscb_search@cornell.edu (please limit to 15MB). Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted to the same email
address. Questions can be addressed to Andrew Clark (ac347@cornell.edu) or Scott Emr (sde26@cornell.edu). Applications will be reviewed
beginning November 1, 2008. A fuller version of this position advertisement appeared in the September 12, 2008 issue of Science.
