Fungi are of central importance for the global carbon cycle because of
their role in the degredation of complex organic matter such as plant
material. Fungi also represent one of the last frontiers of
biodiversity, as their taxonomic diversity and metabolic potential
remain poorly understood. This is particularly true for those fungi that
are abundant in freshwaters.

\"MycoLink\" (Linking aquatic mycodiversity to ecosystem function) is an interdisciplinary project integrating the expertise of 4 Leibniz Institutes: IGB, ZALF, DSMZ, the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), and the Leibniz-Institute of Zoo- and Wildlife Research in Berlin (IZW). We are seeking to recruit outstanding young scientists to establish an innovative research program, and currently invite applications for:

PostDoc will focus on global biodiversity and evolutionary genomics of freshwater fungi, using second- and third-generation sequencing and bioinformatics to analyse natural populations and experimental cultures. For further information, contact Michael T. Monaghan (monaghan@igb-berlin.de) (http://monaghanlab.org).

PostDoc will focus on the ecological and functional role of aquatic fungi by combining state-of-the-art biochemical analyses with modeling in experimental and natural ecosystems. For further information, contact Hans-Peter Grossart & Katrin Premke (hgrossart@igb-berlin.de; premke@igb-berlin.de)

Applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant field. Positions are available for up to three years. Salary is according to the German TvD. Positions will be based at IGB Berlin, IGB Neuglobsow, and at the Berlin Centre for Genomics in Biodiversity Research. The institutes of the Leibniz Association strive to increase the proportion of female scientists. Therefore, female candidates are specifically encouraged to apply. Disabled applicants with identical technical and personal qualification will be preferentially selected.

Please submit a curriculum vitae (including publication list), a brief statement of motivation and research interests, and the names and contact information of two referees. Please send all documents as a single pdf file to monaghan@igb-berlin.de.

Review of the applications will start on 21 February 2014 and continue until the positions are filled. Interviews for shortlisted applicants will take place in March.

(Under Tenure-Track Model)

Open Advt. No IIITA/DIC/16012014

IIIT-Allahabad has several Openings for the Faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level.

It is a regular tenure-track faculty positions for 3-5 years in teaching and research. A regular faculty is expected to engage heavily in research and teaching. The eligibility criteria for regular faculty positions are similar as in IITs. For an Assistant Professor position, a candidate must have a PhD (in IT/Computer Science &/or Engineering/Electrical, Electronics &/or Communication Engineering/etc; for interdisciplinary areas the PhD may be in an appropriate field), plus three years experience. However, for PhDs from a well known University/Institute (e.g. IITs/IISc/TIFR/ISI in India or well known research universities across the world), and a good research/academic record, the 3 years experience requirement may be waived.

The pay scale for faculty is same as in IITs. Other benefits include initiation research grant, travel support, book grant, professional society membership, etc., and personal benefits such as medical/LTC, on campus subsidized family housing with excellent modern infrastructural facilities.

Areas of Interest

IIIT-Allahabad aims to build strong research groups in important and emerging areas in CS/IT/ECE as well as in emerging interdisciplinary areas, and applications are invited in all these areas. Some of the areas of special interest, besides strengthening the existing research areas, are : Software Engineering, Theoretical Computer Science, Cyber Physical Systems, Robotics, Network science, Digital Media, Computational neuroscience, Machine learning, Healthcare informatics, Computational Biology, Communications networks (both at hardware and protocol levels), Circuits (including VLSI, analog, low power, etc), Energy systems and technologies, Biomedical electronics and systems, Computer Architecture, signal/image processing, Embedded and control systems.

Application Process

Interested candidates can apply by sending their detailed CV with list of publications clearly mentioning Journal names and citation index with three references through email entitled “Faculty positions at IIIT Allahabad” to faculty.applications@iiita.ac.in. Do not send your applications in any other email addresses. Applications will be considered regularly, hence there is no deadline for applying.

Important Clarifications on Eligibility

A PhD in CS/IT (or other disciplines, as announced) is the minimum expected requirement for an Assistant Professor.
