Computation & Life Sciences Faculty SearchComputational and Life Sciences (CLS) is a strategic initiative at Emory University. The goal of this initiative is the melding of fundamental, synthetic, and computational approaches to science. The implementation involves interdisciplinary faculty hires in CLS, which place faculty in at least two different academic departments. Dr. Ilya Nemenman, who was hired with a primary appointment in Physics and a secondary appointment in Biology, in the area of Systems Biology, is a recent example. For more general information about CLS, please see the CLS Homepage. Physicists with a strong interdisciplinary purview, who would like to be involved in this exciting opportunity to build further on Emory's strengths in the physical, chemical, biological, and health sciences, should apply to the CLS program. Further information, specifically for physicists, can be obtained from Dr. Laura Finzi (CLS Representative, Physics). Information about applying to the program is provided in the following official advertisement:
Computational and Life Sciences
EMORY UNIVERSITY Atlanta, Georgia Emory University is seeking to make faculty appointments within the Computational and Life Sciences (CLS) initiative (http://www.cls.emory.edu/). CLS is part of a University-wide Strategic Plan that has uniquely positioned Emory for significant growth in a number of key areas. CLS encompasses three broad focus areas: Computational Science and Informatics, Synthetic Sciences, and Systems Biology. This interdisciplinary initiative bridges and builds upon Emory's highly regarded strengths in the physical, biological, and health sciences. Faculty applications at all academic ranks across Computational Science and Informatics, Synthetic Sciences, and Systems Biology are invited from individuals with a PhD in a relevant discipline. Applicants should have a proven record (or promise) of excellence in both research and teaching. Ideal candidates will span more than one CLS focus area and have joint appointments across departments/ schools. Applications consisting of a CV, research and teaching statements, and three letters of recommendation directly from recommenders should be sent via email to cls@emory.edu. Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Informal inquiries are also invited by email. Screening starts December 1, 2009 and will continue until all positions are filled. Please note that appointments are subject to final funding approval.
