The University of Maryland invites applications for Director of the <http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/>Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Candidates are expected to be prominent scholars with publications and research experience at the interface of biological science and computing. Their primary responsibility will be to lead a nationally visible research program complementing existing strengths in computational genomics, proteomics, and molecular evolution. They will also be expected to promote the CBCB, and help build collaborative relationships, both on and off-campus. Information about the Center can be found at <http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/>www.cbcb.umd.edu. Collectively, the CBCB faculty spans the fields of computer science, mathematics and statistics, biology, and biochemistry.
