Career opportunity for tenure-track faculty position at Comprehensive Cancer Center and Genome Center

The UC Davis Genome Center, Comprehensive Cancer Center, and College of Biological Sciences invite applications for a tenure- track faculty position at the intersection of human cancer genetics and bioinformatics. Applicants interested in computational approaches to cancer who employ large-scale, data-driven methods that complement existing strengths at UC Davis are particularly encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates will combine basic and clinical bioinformatics studies. Candidates should be strongly motivated by the biological and medical importance of their research and should value the opportunity to work in close collaboration with both clinical and research faculty. The UC Davis Genome Center integrates experimental and computational approaches to address key problems at the forefront of genomics. The UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center’s mission is to lower the mortality from cancer, focusing on reducing cancer health disparities, and delivering innovative clinical trials to our patients, informed by clinical genomics combined with basic science discoveries. The multidisciplinary faculty of both Centers build on and enhance the unique strengths and unmatched breadth of the life sciences on the UC Davis campus. Candidates may be at any academic level. At the senior level, we invite applications from prominent scientists with distinguished records of research, including extramural funding, teaching, and leadership in cancer genomics and bioinformatics. At the junior level, we invite applications from candidates with outstanding accomplishments in innovative research and a commitment to teaching that demonstrates their potential to develop into future leaders in cancer genomics and bioinformatics. This position requires a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or equivalent degree. The appointment will be at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology in the College of Biological Sciences. The position will remain open until filled. For fullest consideration, applicants should submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, and the names of at least five references to the UC Davis Recruit Website (https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/apply/JPF00406) by December 1, 2014/15.
