[Swarm-Modelling] Tenure Track position for a Network Epidemiologist

[Rick Riolo]

The department of epidemiology at the University of Michigan is
seeking to hire a network scientist who focuses on epidemiology as one
of five tenure-track faculty positions available in a cluster focusing
on biological networks at 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.

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. The research focus of applicants
may be in any area relevant to epidemiology including social
epidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology, genetic epidemiology,
complex chronic diseases, environmental epidemiology, microbial
ecology epidemiology, or health systems epidemiology.

Preference will be given to candidates who demonstrate an ability to
engage and collaborate with epidemiologists who previously have not
analyzed dynamic systems or networks. Other units participating in
this cluster hire are:

1) Ecology and Evolutionary Biology;
2) Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology;
3) Biophysics; and
4) the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics.

The position carries the possibility of an affiliation with the Center
for the Study of Complex Systems (CSCS). Applications are not through
the department of Epidemiology but rather through a joint coordinating
committee at www.lsa.umich.edu/eeb/apply/networksearch.

Applicants should arrange to have three letters of recommendation
submitted through the same website.

Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. The University is
supportive of the needs of dual career couples. The University of
Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
