Dear All, Please could I draw your attention to the following ad: Dave Lawson --------------------------------------------------- Project Leader Vacancies - John Innes Centre The John Innes Centre is one of the world's leading not-for-profit research institutes (http://www.jic.ac.uk) and is an independent, international centre of excellence in plant science and microbiology grant-aided by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. Our mission is to carry out fundamental and strategic research, to train scientists and to make our findings available to society. Our research is organised into seven major programmes: Biological Chemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology, Computational and Systems Biology, Crop Genetics, Disease and Stress Biology, Metabolic Biology and Molecular Microbiology. Research in these Programmes is supported by genomics, proteomic and metabolite analysis services, extensive plant and microbial growth facilities, comprehensive microscopy and protein structure facilities, and expert bioinformatics support. We seek applications from outstanding, highly motivated researchers for the following faculty positions. Head of Computational and Systems Biology The institute has a thriving Computational Biology Unit with six groups in modelling and genome-based informatics. We have recently decided to develop this Unit into a new Department of Computational and Systems Biology and seek to appoint an outstanding scientist to lead the department. The successful candidate will be a creative, high-level research leader in an area of computational or systems biology relevant to JIC's overall programme and with demonstrated or potential ability to provide scientific leadership to the new department. The appointee will have the opportunity to lead the search for additional faculty appointments in the current 5-year funding cycle. Project Leader in Molecular Microbiology We seek to appoint an outstanding scientist in the area of plant-bacterial interactions or bioenergy. Junior researchers establishing an independent research programme would be appointed in our career (tenure) track programme but applications are also welcome from outstanding established investigators for a senior appointment with tenure. Career-track Project Leader: Open Field We have an ongoing search for outstanding scientists wishing to establish through our career-track programme an independent research group in any area of research relevant to our overall scientific programme, strategic priorities and institute mission (http://www.jic.ac.uk/corporate/science-departments/index.htm) Strong start up packages including salary for a permanent Research Assistant and an allocation for consumables, equipment and travel are offered for all positions, together with a continuing programme of professional development. We offer competitive salaries and benefits. Further information can be obtained from Sue Riches ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Secretary to Professor Mervyn Bibb, Head of Molecular Microbiology, who is Chair of the 2006 Search Committee. Apply on-line at http://www.jic.ac.uk/corporate/opportunities/vacancies/index.htm. Please include your C.V., the names and email addresses of three academic referees, and statements of current and future research plans (no more than 2 sides A4 for each). Applications should be received by Friday 8th December, 2006. ------------------------------- Dr. David M. Lawson Biological Chemistry Dept., John Innes Centre, Norwich, NR4 7UH, UK.
