The Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill invites

applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Quantitative
Biology or

Bioinformatics. We seek a researcher who is applying quantitative and/or
computational

methods to the study of molecular, cellular or developmental systems.
Examples of

of physical processes

within the cell, developmental processes unfolding at multiple scales,
and the use of

genomic data to study the biology of microbial communities. Research may
or may not

be purely computational. The successful candidate will contribute to a
new initiative in

Quantitative Biology and be affiliated with the NIH-funded graduate
Curriculum in

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (http://bcb.unc.edu).
