Applications are still being accepted. The University of Michigan has five tenure-track faculty positions available in a cluster focusing on biological networks on multiple levels of organization, from molecules and genes to individuals in social systems to entire ecosystems or health systems. Positions are likely to be at the assistant professor level, although exceptional candidates at higher ranks will be considered. Not all positions may be filled this year. We are searching for individuals with interdisciplinary interests who develop and/or use theoretical, computational, statistical, experimental, or observational approaches to understand how the structure, evolution, and dynamics of networks relate to their function, robustness, and control. Each hire will have an appointment in one of the five tenure-granting units listed below and will participate in ongoing and new interdisciplinary activities using network approaches, including potential affiliation with the Center for the Study of Complex Systems. P Hiring units include: 1) Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, 2) Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, 3) Biophysics (all in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts), 4) Epidemiology in the School of Public Health, and 5) the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics in the School of Medicine. Teaching duties will depend on curricular needs of the tenure-granting unit. Information regarding the cluster hire and links to participating academic units and related research and education initiatives can be found at https://sitemaker.umich.edu/encrypt/biologicalnetworks/home.
