We are looking for people who specifically are looking at the biological
(microbial) component on nutrient cycling, and so this involves
metagenomics on a large scale.



Title Global BioGeoChemistry - University of Rochester

Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Interdisciplinary Research in Data
Science: Global Biogeochemistry

The University of Rochester has made data science the centerpiece of
its 5-year strategic plan, committing to 20 new faculty lines in diverse
areas, a new building, and the establishment of the Institute for Data
Science. We are currently seeking applicants for tenure track positions
in interdisciplinary research areas within data science. The
interdisciplinary search focuses on recruiting candidates who are excited
about engaging in collaborative research that connects advances in
computational approaches across disciplines, including engineering, or
the life, social, or physical sciences. 

Global Biogeochemistry is a focus area for one of this year?s
interdisciplinary searches. We seek candidates who integrate biotic (e.g.
microbial), chemical, and geological processes for an interdisciplinary
research focus on understanding global geochemical cycling processes
and/or global climate change. Applicants should have a strong
computational and/or modeling component to their research aimed at
mining, integrating, and/or interpreting large data sets.

Further information and instructions for this search can be found at:

http://www.rochester.edu/rocdata/recruit/interdisciplinary.html.


Applicants at any rank will be considered, and the search will
continue until the position is filled. For full consideration,
individuals should provide complete applications by January 15, 2014.
Applicants should hold a PhD and will be required to supply a set of
refereed scholarly publications, names of references, and research and
teaching statements. Applicants will be asked to select a set of
disciplines most relevant to their research area. 

The University of Rochester is a private, Tier I research institution
located in western New York State. It consistently ranks among the top 30
institutions, both public and private, in federal funding for research
and development. The university has made substantial investments in
computing infrastructure through the Center for Integrated Research
Computing (CIRC) and the Health Sciences Center for Computational
Innovation (HSCCI). The university includes the Eastman School of Music
and the University of Rochester Medical Center, a major medical school,
research center, and hospital system. The greater Rochester area is home
to over a million people, including 80,000 students who attend the 8
colleges and universities in the region.
The University of Rochester has a strong commitment to diversity and
actively encourages applications from candidates from groups
underrepresented in higher education. The University is an Equal
Opportunity Employer.
