Exceptional candidates may be considered for higher rank. The successful candidate will develop original research in mathematical biology, which complements SDSU areas of excellence in quantitative biology. The area of specialty is open and may include complex biological systems, theoretical and computational biophysics, computational biology, population dynamics, epidemiology, or mathematical physiology to name a few. He/She will have a strong record of research accomplishments, employ state-of-the-art approaches in biomathematics, have experience collaborating with researchers in other disciplines, show a strong ability writing grants, have a solid plan for extramural funding. He/She is also expected to demonstrate an ability to teach a wide variety of courses at the undergraduate and graduate level in mathematics and applied mathematics. New techniques in biophysics and molecular biology are transforming biology and biomedicine into stronger quantitative disciplines. The complexity of biological systems, however, requires new mathematical and computational approaches to accurate analyze, predict, and understand the rapid growth of biological data. In recent years, SDSU has pursued an ambitious expansion in several research areas of excellence that rely on quantitative biology. To sustain and reinforce the lead in these disciplines, SDSU aims to incorporate new talented faculty with a strategic vision in modern applications of Biomathematics. Successful candidates are expected to develop an active relationship with members in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics as well as the Computational Science Research Center.
