I am excited to share the following job ad with you (see below, or follow the link at the bottom to the ad in Science). Reed is conducting a tenure track search this fall for a computational biologist. I, of course, will be thrilled to have a new colleague working in the area of bioinformatics/computational biology and would be really grateful if you would pass this add on to talented folks who might be interested in applying.
I have been at Reed for a little over a year and can give anyone who might be curious the scoop on what a research-oriented small liberal arts college is like. In short-- the students are outstanding and the financial support for research is amazing. The quality of life in Portland, given the proximity of mountains, rivers, and coast, isn't too bad either.
Please pass this announcement on to your post-docs and colleagues or anyone else who might be interested in the position and let them know they may also feel free to contact me with questions if they wish .
All best,
Sarah

The Mathematics Department at Reed College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in computer science with research focus in computational biology, to begin in the fall of 2013. We seek applicants committed to building the department's computer science program---teaching and expanding its core coursework---and to developing an undergraduate research program and coursework in computational biology.
Reed is a distinguished liberal arts college with 1400 students that offers a demanding academic program to bright and dedicated undergraduates. Faculty members teach five semester courses per year (usually two course preparations per semester) and supervise senior theses (required of all students). Information can be found at http://academic.reed.edu/math/
Applications must be submitted through the MathJobs.org website and should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, and three letters of recommendation. The cover letter should address how the applicant's teaching and scholarship are suited to the liberal arts college environment. All applicants are invited to address how their teaching, scholarship, mentoring, community service, or other activities could support Reed's commitment to diversity and inclusion (see http://www.reed.edu/diversity/
The Reed community believes that cultural diversity is essential to the excellence of our academic program. An equal opportunity employer, Reed College encourages applications from members of underrepresented groups.
Any questions may be directed to the search committee chair, Jim Fix,jimfix@reed.edu.
