The NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP) is recruiting outstanding systems biologists at the tenure-track or tenured levels. These individuals will direct independent research programs on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD and participate in a Trans-NIH Initiative in Systems Biology promoting interaction between experimentalists, theoreticians and computational investigators. Candidates will have demonstrated an ability to conduct outstanding independent biomedical research on key topics in systems biology such as computational modeling of biological processes at various scales, analysis of global datasets, construction and analysis of biological networks, and 'omic' scale interrogation of biological systems. The internationally recognized NIH faculty covers a wide range of basic and clinical research topics with a growing strength, support and emphasis on systems biology and informatic approaches to biomedicine.

The NIH IRP promotes creative and innovative science unconstrained by the conventional support mechanisms demanded at academic or private research institutes. Investigators have ready access to and support from state-of-the art experimental and computational cores and facilities, and a variety of programs to recruit graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.

Candidates must have an M.D. and/or Ph.D., or equivalent doctoral degree, and an outstanding record of research accomplishment and peer-reviewed publications. Recruits will be provided a competitive salary commensurate with experience and qualifications, and will be assigned ample research space, supported positions, operating budget, and start-up funds. Appointees may be US citizens, resident aliens, or eligible foreign nationals. Review of applications will commence on November 1, 2009, and continue until the positions are filled. Please submit a curriculum vitae, brief (not to exceed 3 pages) statement of research interests that includes how you see your research group helping to create a world-class, integrated systems biology effort at NIH, and three letters of reference in .pdf or MS word format only (no paper applications will be accepted) to: http://tenuretrack.nih.gov/apply/. The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs.
