Animal Behavior - Genome Variation and Theoretical Biology: The College of Biological Sciences (CBS) at the University of Minnesota is hiring 16 scientists to form six interdisciplinary clusters in emerging areas of biology that connect with other STEM disciplines. The University has a strong and diverse research program in animal behavior spanning several different departments, including Anthropology; Ecology, Evolution and Behavior; Entomology; Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation; Neuroscience; Psychology; and Veterinary Population Medicine. Two clusters might be of particular interest to the broader animal behavior community, and potential applicants with interests in animal behavior are strongly encouraged to apply. See also: Minnesota Behavior Group (1) Genome Variation Cluster We seek candidates for up to four tenure-track assistant professor (and/or tenured associate professor) positions. These positions are part of a larger effort to build a focused research group that analyzes genome-scale datasets to better understand variation within species. We welcome applicants who will study how genomic variation (including structural, gene expression and epigenetic changes) affects phenotypic outcome among individuals within a population or among different cells. Researchers who utilize a combination of tools including genomics, statistical genetics and computational biology to study fundamental questions about genetics, evolution, and the basis of complex phenotypes and behavior are encouraged to apply. The development of a strong research program linking variation in genomes to differences in phenotype is expected to provide powerful insights into the basis of disease, local adaptation, behavioral or other complex traits, and will provide important resources for crop, animal and human health improvement. A proposed tenure home for some of these candidates is the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior. Evaluation of applications begins October 15, 2012. (2) Theoretical Biology Cluster Biology stands poised to address some of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. However, this requires the development of general theory in biology with work that pushes the limits of mathematical and computational sciences. The aim of the Theoretical Biology cluster is to build on existing strengths in the College of Biological Sciences (CBS) and at the University of Minnesota in order to further explore the general mathematical properties of complex systems in biology at a wide range of scales from cellular processes to populations, community and global ecosystems. To this end, the college is recruiting new tenure track and tenured faculty who are committed to multidisciplinary interactions, have outstanding research potential, and are motivated to contribute to campus-wide expansion of cutting-edge research in biology and to new initiatives in graduate and undergraduate education. New faculty hired as part of this cluster are expected to develop a strong, internationally recognized research program that complements and interfaces well with current faculty research in the college and in their tenure department in areas such as population genetics, ecology, evolution and infectious diseases dynamics. CBS is fertile territory for collaborative work in theoretical biology. The college maintains very strong graduate programs, including one of the leading ecology, evolution and behavior programs in the United States. In addition, there is a long history of collaboration between our empirically grounded faculty members and mathematically sophisticated theorists. CBS also provides exciting opportunities for undergraduate teaching. Each year the college recruits a select group of undergraduates to participate in its innovative teaching program – only the top eight percent of undergraduate applicants are accepted into the program. The proposed tenure home for some of these candidates is the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior. Evaluation of applications begins September 25, 2012. Posted: 9/6/12.
