Job Description:
The successful candidate will have a strong research portfolio in mathematical biology with an emphasis in bioinformatics, the potential to obtain external funding, and excellent credentials in both undergraduate- and graduate-level teaching.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (www.las.iastate.edu) at Iowa State University (ISU) has begun a major interdisciplinary hiring initiative (www.las.iastate.edu/faculty-careers) to help foster collaborative research and teaching, especially in its Signature Themes (www.las.iastate.edu/research/signature-themes/). As part of this initiative, the Departments of Computer Science (www.cs.iastate.edu), Mathematics and Statistics (www.stat.iastate.edu) have launched a new 2-3 year hiring effort to expand research and education in the area of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB). This initiative is further supported and complemented by several other simultaneous new hiring efforts, especially targeting the themes of Data-Rich Environments and Biology Structures & Systems, as well as recent big data hires in the biological and engineering sciences.
The Department of Mathematics houses an active research environment consisting of over 70 mathematicians and 88 graduate students. As part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Department is strongly committed to advancing the frontiers of knowledge in both pure and applied mathematics. Members of the faculty are active in cross-campus collaboration, as well as in professional organizations including the AMS, SIAM, and the MAA. For further information about the department, please visit our website at http://www.math.iastate.edu.
Iowa State University's BCB program was the first BCB graduate program in the country. As such, cutting-edge research and education in BCB are nurtured through long-standing interdisciplinary interactions among diverse faculty members across STEM fields. Outstanding computational and biological research facilities and programs support the BCB research and education endeavor and include the Laurence H. Baker Center for Bioinformatics and Biological Statistics, the Center for Integrative Animal Genomics, and the Plant Sciences Institute. A dynamic faculty, a moderate teaching load (typically four courses per year with a course reduction to three courses per academic year for active researchers and possible further reductions for new or junior faculty), a strong graduate program, and a vibrant research environment with well-funded research colleagues provide an excellent academic environment for research. Iowa State University is the nation's most student-centered public research university. One hundred majors, 800 student organizations, learning communities, undergraduate research opportunities, study abroad programs, and faculty committed to the land-grant principle of knowledge with practice have resulted in record enrollment, donations, and sponsored program funding. ISU is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities and is ranked as one of the top 50 public universities in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. The university is located in Ames, a community ranked as one of the top 10 places to live in the U.S. by Money magazine. http://www.iastate.edu/about/ Qualifications
Required: A Ph.D. or equivalent degree in mathematics, statistics, computer science, or a related discipline. Demonstrated potential for superior achievement in research and an ability to collaborate with researchers in the biological sciences. Excellent teaching record as evidenced by both peer and student evaluations.
Preferred: Additional years of experience beyond the Ph.D., normally achieved through a postdoctoral position. Research record in the mathematical approaches analysis of bioinformatics data, structural biology, systems biology, or ecological and evolutionary modeling.Job Information Position Type: Faculty Reference (Job ID number): 500165 Start Date: January 01, 2015 Duration: Full Time Status: openContact InformationIowa State University
