Two new faculty positions
Assistant Professor - Systems Biology - 1902830
The Department of Biology at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) invites applications for a tenure-stream appointment in Systems Biology, at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2020, or shortly thereafter.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Biology or closely related field, post-doctoral experience, and demonstrated excellence in research and teaching.
We are searching for an outstanding scientist who addresses fundamental questions in biology by employing or developing novel computational and mathematical approaches. Those working with techniques such as systems biology, network analysis, machine learning, or statistical modelling are particularly encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate would integrate such quantitative approaches with empirical biological data and would bring expertise complementary to existing strengths in the Department of Biology at UTM. The topics of interest are broadly defined, but may include:
• Systems neuroscience
• Developmental biology
• Interaction networks
• Statistical Ecology or Genomics
Assistant Professor - Microbial Ecology and Evolution - 1902892
The Department of Biology at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) invites applications for a tenure-stream appointment in Microbial Ecology and Evolution, at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2020, or shortly thereafter.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Biology or closely related field and demonstrated excellence in research and teaching. Post-doctoral experience is preferred.
We are searching for an outstanding scientist who addresses fundamental questions in the ecology, evolution or systematics of viral, prokaryotic (bacteria and cyanobacteria) or eukaryotic (e.g. fungi, simple algae) microbes. The department is particularly interested in an individual whose research, teaching and technical experience would complement our existing departmental strengths. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- genetics, ecology, or evolution of chemical or antibiotic resistance
- ecology and evolution of microbiomes and metagenomes
- host-symbiont coevolution
- ecology, evolution, genetics of microbial diseases
- ecology, evolution, genetics of microbially-mediated mutualisms
- population genetics and genomics of microbes
- systematics (fungal, algal, or protozoan)
