Please bring these announcements (below) of postdoc positions in theoretical and experimental biological physics, as well as in theoretical condensed matter physics, to the attention of potential applicants. Also below is the announcement for faculty positions in Systems Biology. These faculty positions are associated with a variety of departments including the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Best Regards, Clare Yu ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONDENSED MATTER THEORY POSTDOCTORAL POSITION The University of California, Irvine anticipates the availability of a postdoctoral position in condensed matter theory beginning as early as Fall of 2008. The successful candidate will model microscopic sources of noise and decoherence in Josephson junction qubits. Experience with analytical calculations and numerical simulations is useful. The minimum qualification is a Ph.D in physics or a closely related field. Applications (including a cv, list of publications, and three reference letters) should be sent to Prof. Clare Yu, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-4575. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by January 15, 2008. UCI is an equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THEORETICAL BIOLOGICAL PHYSICS POSTDOCTORAL POSITION The University of California, Irvine anticipates the availability of 1 or 2 postdoctoral positions in theoretical biological physics. The successful candidate will model intracellular transport, e.g., motor proteins carrying cargos along filaments. The successful applicant will have a strong theoretical physics background and computer skills, as well as an interest in understanding biology. Further, they must work well with others, as significant collaboration with experimentalists will be necessary. Experience with Monte Carlo simulations and C++ is useful. The minimum qualification is a Ph.D in physics or a closely related field. Applications (including a cv, list of publications, and three reference letters) should be sent to Prof. Clare Yu, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-4575. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by January 15, 2008. UCI is an equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPERIMENTAL BIOPHYSICS POSTDOCTORAL POSITION The University of California, Irvine anticipates the availability of a postdoctoral position in experimental biophysics. The successful candidate will do in vitro (and in vivo) experiments on molecular motors, looking at a variety of issues related to how multiple motors function together. While a strong background in biology is not required, the successful applicant will be expected to have an interest in understanding biology, and will need to learn a great deal of biology to be successful. Experimentally, some knowledge of optics, electronics, and computer control of instrumentation is important, since the project involves optical traps and advanced instrumentation. Becasue the project will be multi-disciplinary, a desire to learn new approaches is critical. The applicant will be expected to work well as part of a group, and collaborate with theorists. The minimum qualification is a Ph.D in physics, biomedical engineering, chemistry, or a closely related field. Applications (including a cv, list of publications, and three reference letters) should be sent to Prof. Steven Gross, Department of Dev. and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by January 15, 2008.

Three positions are available this year, for which candidates will be considered from all areas of Systems Biology, including biological networks, regulatory dynamics and control, spatial dynamics and morphogenesis, synthetic biology, and mathematical and computational biology. Applications are being solicited at the Assistant, Associate and Full Professor level, and appointments can be made in any of several departments, including Developmental and Cell Biology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, Computer Science, and Statistics. The successful applicant is expected to conduct a strong research program and to contribute to the teaching of undergraduate and graduate students. Systems Biology research and training at UCI is fostered by several interdisciplinary research units, an NIGMS National Center for Systems Biology, and Ph.D. training programs in Bioinformatics, and Mathematical and Computational Biology (for more information, see http://ccbs.bio.uci.edu). Applicants should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, bibliography, three letters of reference, and statements of research and teaching interests using the on-line recruitment system (see instructions at http://ccbs.bio.uci.edu or https://recruit.ap.uci.edu). To receive full consideration, material should be received by January 1, 2008. The University of California, Irvine is an equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity, and strongly encourages applications from all qualified applicants, including women and minorities. UCI is responsive to the needs of dual career couples, is dedicated to work-life balance through an array of family-friendly policies, and is the recipient of an NSF ADVANCE Award for gender equity.
