Employment Opportunities at CCT

Faculty - Associate Or Full Professor

Computational Biologist

Department of Biological Sciences/Center for Computation & Technology

The Department of Biological Sciences and the Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) at Louisiana State University invite applications for a joint, senior level faculty position in Computational Biology, broadly defined.

Required Qualifications

Ph.D. and a successful track record of independent research. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, biomolecular structure/function, systems biology modeling, genomics and computational neuroscience.

The successful candidate will be expected to have and maintain a vigorous, extramurally funded research program and contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching. The candidate will work closely with faculty in Biological Sciences and other departments at LSU, as well as the CCT faculty to foster the development of a center of excellence in Computational Biology at LSU. LSU anticipates hiring several additional faculty in computational biology in the future.

The CCT offers an innovative and interdisciplinary research environment for advancing computational sciences, including a highly competitive computing environment with access to 100 TFlops of computing resources in conjunction with the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI). This position is also offered in conjunction with the LONI Institute (http://institute.loni.org/), a bold new inter-university collaboration aiming to fill a dozen new faculty positions in related areas. LSU will join the national TeraGrid in January 2008.
