[SocBiN] Fwd: Faculty position in Computational Biology at Dana-Farber and Harvard in Boston

[Arne Elofsson]

Dear colleagues

>> Please nominate Computational Biology faculty candidates, cBio Center
for Information Biology
>> Please nominate postdoc candidates, Sander group



As I have moved to Boston to start a new academic venture, we are opening a
round of faculty recruitment for a new Center at DFCI, called *cBio Center
for Information Biology*, focused on Computational and Systems Biology,
with strong links to Harvard Medical School.

We are also recruiting for postdocs and a software engineer in the Sander
research team at DFCI and HMS.

Please forward the faculty ad below to interested researchers and encourage
your best postdocs to apply.

And come visit & give a talk when you are in Boston !

With best wishes,

Chris Sander

*Assistant/Associate Professor*
*Dana-Farber Cancer Institute*

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) seeks an accomplished and
innovative research faculty member. Pursue basic and translational research
with an emphasis on solving biological problems by computational and data
science methods. Collaborate with cancer researchers to achieve impact on
data-driven clinical trials and cancer care in the age of genomically
informed personalized medicine. Join a new Center focused on computational
biomedicine, headed by Chris Sander. Home will be in the Department of
Biostatistics and Computational Biology at DFCI with an academic
appointment in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical
School (HMS). Participate in the scientific events of the Dana-Farber,
Harvard and Boston area research communities and train graduate students in
a highly interactive, supportive, collaborative and dynamic research
environment.

You have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree, with a significant record of
discoveries and peer-reviewed publications. Your academic rank will be
determined according to your experience and productivity. Send a letter of
application and a concise statement of current and future research
interests, curriculum vitae, sample publications, and the names of four
referees to chair at jimmy.harvard.edu  (cc: dwana at jimmy.harvard.edu) and  ask
referees to independently provide letters of recommendation to the same
address. Consideration of candidates will begin after the application
