Emory University is seeking to make faculty appointments within the Computational and Life Sciences (CLS) initiative (http://www.cls.emory.edu/). CLS is part of a University-wide Strategic Plan that has uniquely positioned Emory for significant growth in a number of key areas. CLS encompasses three broad focus areas: Computational Science and Informatics, Synthetic Sciences, and Systems Biology. This interdisciplinary initiative bridges and builds upon Emory’s highly regarded strengths in thephysical, biological, and health sciences.

Faculty applications at all academic ranks across Computational Science and Informatics, Synthetic Sciences, and Systems Biology are invited from individuals with a PhD in a relevant discipline. Applicants should have a proven record (or promise) of excellence in both research and teaching. Ideal candidates will span more than one CLS focus area and have joint appointments across departments/schools. Applications consisting of a CV, research and teaching statements, and three letters of recommendation directly from recommenders should be sent via email to cls@emory.edu. Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Informal inquiries are also invited by email. Screening starts December 1, 2009 and will continue until all positions are filled. Please note that appointments are subject to final funding approval. For further details on the CLS initiative please see: http://www.cls.emory.edu/

Emory University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and welcomes applications from women and members of minority groups.
