Job Description:
Bioinformatic/Computational Sciences Assistant Professor, Plant Science Dept., South Dakota State University. Position requires an earned Ph.D. in Computational Sciences, Bioinformatics, Mathematics or a closely related discipline; a research focus that complements existing SDSU and BioSNTR strengths; demonstrated strong research background and publication record, demonstrated ability to work within multidisciplinary teams, demonstrated potential to develop external funding for a research program, effective interpersonal skills and oral and written communication skills. Preferred qualifications include Post-doctoral experience or equivalent experience, plant computational biology experience, demonstrated grantsmanship (experience with federal funding agencies preferred), bioinformatic tool development experience and demonstrated teaching experience. Familiarity with plant systems biology approaches. For position questions please contact Dr. Anne Fennell, at anne.fennell@sdstate.edu. “To apply, visit https://YourFuture.sdbor.edu, search for the position, and follow the electronic application process. Position is open until filled with full consideration given to applications received by November 18, 2014. For questions on the electronic employment process, contact SDSU Human Resources at (605) 688-4128. SDSU is an AA/EEO employer.” Detailed job description: Bioinformatic/Computational Sciences Assistant Professor Department of Plant Science South Dakota State University The Plant Science Department at South Dakota State University (SDSU) is conducting a search for a tenure track Assistant Professor in Plant Bioinformatics/Computational Sciences. This is one of 11 new faculty positions (4 located at SDSU) coordinated with the NSF EPSCoR and South Dakota Research Innovative Center (SDRIC) funded virtual center, Biochemical Spatio-temporal NeTwork Resource (BioSNTR). BioSNTR promotes imaging and informatics research infrastructure in SD. Applicants with innovative research programs in integrative computational biology that complement plant genomic and systems biology research within the SDSU College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences (ABS) will be given the highest priority. SDSU actively seeks to increase social and intellectual diversity among its faculty and staff. Women and persons underrepresented in higher education are encouraged to apply. Responsibilities: The successful candidate will develop an independent, externally funded research program that compliments or expands the existing molecular and systems biology research programs in the Plant Science department and the College of Agricultural and Biological Sciences. This position will also be networked with the Biochemical Spatio-temporal NeTwork Resource (BioSNTR) center and the Agricultural Experiment Station within the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences. Efforts within BioSNTR focus on analysis of large-scale genomics and imaging data, application of novel microscopy technologies to study signaling pathways, optical methods for analysis and identification of new compounds to manipulate signaling pathways. Current Genomic and Computational Biology efforts in Plant Science focus on developmental biology and abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in crop plants (agronomic, horticulture and biofuels). Responsibilities of this position include collaborative research within the missions of BioSNTR; graduate training in plant computational/bioinformatics within area of expertise; and participation in departmental, college, and university governance. The successful applicant will have access to established HPC clusters and new computational resources as well as interactions with vibrant research programs in plant science/functional genomics. Required Qualifications: An earned Ph.D. in Computational Sciences, Bioinformatics, Mathematics or a closely related discipline; a research focus that complements existing SDSU and BioSNTR strengths; demonstrated strong research background and publication record, demonstrated ability to work within multidisciplinary teams, demonstrated potential to develop external funding for a research program, effective interpersonal skills and oral and written communication skills. Desired Qualifications: Post-doctoral or equivalent experience, Plant Computational Biology experience, demonstrated grantsmanship (experience with federal funding agencies preferred), bioinformatic tool development experience and demonstrated teaching experience. Familiarity with plant systems biology approaches. Salary: Commensurate with background and experience. Department Description and Cultural Expectations: South Dakota State University, the state's land grant institution, is in Brookings, a city of approximately 22,000 people located in eastern South Dakota. The institution enrolls 12,600 undergraduate and graduate students. The Department of Plant Science includes 351 undergraduate and 58 graduate students, 76 professional staff and 46 faculty whose expertise spans the fields of agronomy, entomology, genetics/breeding, genomics, horticulture, landscape architecture, plant pathology, plant physiology, soil science, statistical sciences and weed science. Plant Science has a robust research program with grant fund generation that consistently ranks at or near the top of departments at SDSU. Dissemination of science-based knowledge is a core mission of the Department of Plant Science. The department provides nationally competitive training for undergraduate students leading to B.S. degrees in agronomy, horticulture and landscape architecture. Plant Science offers a strong graduate training environment leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in plant science and biological sciences. Application Deadline: Position is open until filled, with full consideration given to applications received by November 18, 2014. Application process: SDSU accepts applications through an on-line employment site. To apply, please visit: https://yourfuture.sdbor.edu, position (# 0006146) or search by the position title, view the job announcement, and click on “apply for this posting.” The system guides you through the electronic application form and requires you to attach a letter of interest, which should specifically address how the candidate meets the qualifications as outlined in the advertisement, curriculum vitae, and reference page, which includes the mailing and email addresses and phone numbers of at least five references. Email applications will not be accepted. SDSU is especially interested in candidates that can contribute to and/or coordinate course offerings that address the experiences of underrepresented minorities in organizations. Please contact SDSU Human Resources at (605) 688-4128 if you require assistance with this process. Any offer of employment is contingent on the university’s verification of credentials and other information required by law and/or university policies, including but not limited to a criminal background check. For questions on the position, contact Dr. Anne Fennell, Department of Plant Science, SDSU, Box 2207A, 254B Northern Plaines Biostress, Brookings, SD 57007, (605) 688-6373 or anne.fennell@sdstate.edu.
