Tenure-track positions in BIOLOGICAL PHYSICS
The Department of Physics wishes to expand its strength in biological physics. We
invite applications for two tenure-track positions, as well as for a Tier II Canada
Research Chair in this area (http://www.chairs.gc.ca/). The emphasis is on innovative
computational approaches to study biological systems, which may be carried out in
conjunction with experimental and/or theoretical approaches. Appointments of
outstanding candidates will normally be at the Assistant Professor level, but
applications for higher ranks will be considered as well. Cross-appointment to another
Department in the Faculty of Science or Medicine is possible.
The Department is building its interdisciplinary strength in areas such as, but not
limited to, biological modeling and computation, neurophysics, computational biology,
cellular interactions, genomics, proteomics, molecular biophysics and the physics of
complex biological networks. The individuals will be part of a growing contingent of
interdisciplinary researchers studying biological dynamics and computation within the
Faculty of Science, as well as in the Faculty of Medicine and the affiliated Ottawa
Health Research Institutes and Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology. More information
on the Department can be obtained at
http://www.science.uottawa.ca/phy/eng/welcome.html.
Apart from carrying out a vigorous research program, successful candidates will be
expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching and administrative
duties in the department. These duties are significantly reduced for the first two
years of appointment, and eliminated for two years for Canada Research Chairs.
As Canada's National Capital, Ottawa is a vibrant and attractive city with a high
standard of living, and well served for national and international travel. It has
numerous cultural amenities and offers easy access to several summer and winter
outdoor activities (see http://www.uottawa.ca/whychoose/city/index.html ).
According to government policy, all qualified candidates are invited to apply.
However, preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. The
University of Ottawa is an equal opportunity employer. We strongly encourage
applications from women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of
visible minorities. As the University of Ottawa is a bilingual institution,
bilingualism is an asset. Applicants are requested to send a curriculum vitae, the
names of at least three referees, and a statement of research interests to: Search
Committee (c/o Dr. André Longtin), Department of Physics, University of Ottawa, 150
Louis Pasteur, Ottawa, Ont. Canada K1N 6N5. Applications will be reviewed starting in
January 2005, and will continue to be reviewed until the positions are filled.
