Faculty Position
Brown University seeks highly qualified candidates for one open rank, tenure-track or tenured faculty position with a preference for as-
sistant professor in the Center for Computational Molecular Biology (CCMB). The growing CCMB currently has four full-time faculty
members, two in Computer Science, one in Applied Mathematics and one in Biology. Candidates are sought in all areas of computation-
al biology and bioinformatics, particularly those who specialize in research areas complementary to and synergistic with those of current
faculty. The research areas of the current center faculty are: algorithmic methods and statistical inference in genomics, comparative ge-
nomics and evolution, gene regulatory networks, regulatory genomics, mathematical models of genetic variation, and cancer genomics.
The successful applicant will be expected to have a demonstrated potential for excellence in research and have outstanding teaching
skills. Junior faculty applicants should show the potential to establish an externally funded research program; senior faculty applicants
should have established such a program. The appointee will participate in the continuing development of Brown’s established under-
graduate Computational Biology curriculum and a newer graduate curriculum built upon the foundation of Brown’s widely recognized
record in teaching innovation and academic excellence. The appointee will have the opportunity to participate in several interdisciplin-
ary projects, including collaborations with faculty in the Center for Genomics and Proteomics, the Center for Cardiovascular Research
and other multidisciplinary programs at Brown and affiliated hospitals. The appointment will be in one of the following top-ranked
departments: Division of Applied Mathematics, Department of Computer Science, or Division of Biology and Medicine.
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, representative preprints or reprints, their research plan and teaching plan with emphasis
on their interdisciplinary expertise. Additionally, candidates for Assistant Professorship should arrange to have at least three letters of
recommendation sent directly to the contact address. Candidates for Associate or Full Professor should provide names and contact
information for at least five references, who will be contacted for letters of recommendation by the search committee at an appropriate
time. All applications will be treated confidentially. Application review will commence on November 1, 2008 and continue until the
position is filled.
All documents should be sent electronically in PDF to:
ccmbfs@cs.brown.edu
In addition, please send the cover letter and letters of recommendation to:
