Tenure Track Professor Position Morelos, Mexico

Tenure track professor position to work in the computational genomics laboratory
http://www.ccg.unam.mx/en/ComputationalGenomics at the Center for Genomic Sciences (CCG) within the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) (http://www.unam.mx/)
in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico.

Our research focuses in regulation of gene expression in Escherichia coli and related bacteria.
Submit applications to applicationpgc@ccg.unam.mx with c.v., three letters of recommendation (by email) and additional names of reference people before MARCH 1st, 2010.

Keep in mind that abilities to work in a team are essential, as well as participation in teaching. Knowledge of Spanish is preferred.
The range of our work covers curation of scientific literature on transcription initiation feeding both RegulonDB and EcoCyc databases, its conconceptual modeling (database, conceptual, graphic and navigation design), the investigation of natural language processing in curation; generation of predictive bioinformatic programs for all essential elements of the network (promoters, operons, regulators and their binding sites), and topological analyses of the network. We maintain several collaborations (EcoCyc, BIOPAX, RSATools, Textpresso) including experimental high throughput mapping of promoters, transcription units and in the future regulatory interactions.

Future interests include experimental testing of predictions within our small wet lab facilities, dynamical modeling and synthetic biology within gene regulation.
The lab, the Center for Genomics (http://www.ccg.unam.mx/ ) , and its associated Undergraduate Program in Genomics (http://www.lcg.unam.mx/) make all this an exciting and energetic place to seek excellence in research in a collaborative environment.
