[Socbin] Bioinformatics/systems biology group leader position at CBU, Bergen, Norway

[Inge Jonassen]

Group Leader - Bioinformatics/Systems Biology

The Computational Biology Unit (CBU) has been established to conduct  
top-level European research in bioinformatics, and to serve functional  
genomics research in Norway with relevant training and services.

CBU is searching for an additional group leader. The group leader will  
carry out research in the field of computational biology/ 
bioinformatics and contribute to the overall objectives of CBU. The  
group leader should have a PhD and post-doctoral experience including  
a solid publication record in a relevant subject. Candidates will be  
evaluated with emphasis on their ability to raise external funding and  
to supervise and carry out research projects. The research profile of  
the candidate should be within a relevant area for CBU. Candidates  
with profiles in direction of systems biology will be preferred. The  
group leader will direct a research group consisting of Ph.D. and post- 
doctoral scientists.

The CBU and its partners currently have bioinformatics research  
activities in the fields of protein biophysics, molecular modeling and  
protein dynamics, transcriptional regulation microarray and proteomics  
bioinformatics, and genome assembly and annotation. Activity has been  
initiated towards integrative bioinformatics and systems biology.  
There are excellent opportunities for collaboration with the molecular  
biological and biomedical as well as mathematical and informatics  
research groups in Bergen.

CBU is part of Bergen Center for Computational Science (BCCS) and  
located together with the Department for Informatics, the Molecular  
Biology Department and the SARS Centre for Marine Molecular Biology, a  
partner of EMBL. BCCS owns and operates large scale computing  
facilities that provide an excellent computational environment. CBU is  
partner in the Molecular and Computational Biology research school (http://www.mcb.uib.no 
). CBU is coordinating the bioinformatics technology platform for the  
national functional genomics programme (FUGE) in Norway.

Salary and professional resources are internationally competitive.  
Please send your CV, your ten most relevant publications, and a  
detailed statement of research interests to Professor Inge Jonassen (Inge.Jonassen at bccs.uib.no 
), head of the CBU. Evaluation of applications will commence January  
4th 2009 and continue until a suitable candidate has been identified.
