The Department of Biology at the University of La Verne invites outstanding applicants to apply for the Fletcher Jones Endowed Chair in Computational Biology- a full-time tenured-track or tenure position at the rank of associate or Full Professor. The specific field of expertise in biology is open, although interdisciplinary connections and a health focus is highly desirable. Examples of such interdisciplinary connections could include (but are not limited to) modeling of biological networks, big data analytics, and integration of genomic and health datasets for improvement of public health.  [More]

Cancer is a complex, resilient disease. Cancer is also a genomic disease, and the key to understanding and defeating it is understanding the diverse genomic patterns that drive cancer. The first generation of cancer genomics delivered ‘things’ – mutations, amplifications, fusions, expression profiles, etc. We’re looking for an ambitious postdoc to help us understand the next generation of cancer genomics – the patterns of genomic changes that will reveal the molecular strategies used by tumors, and reveal new therapeutic possibilities. [More]
