The successful candidate qualifies by an outstanding and internationally recognized research portfolio at the interface of biology and engineering to interrogate complex systems or to develop synthetic biomedical solutions. The candidate leverages quantitative tools, such as mathematical modeling, biophysics, computational simulations or bioinformatics, to predict and/or optimize the behavior of biological systems, which can range from the molecular scale to cells, tissues and organisms. Scientists whose research programs complement existing areas and allow interaction with established groups at the Max Perutz Labs and Vienna BioCenter Campus are encouraged to apply. The candidate has a strong commitment to curriculum development and mentoring the next generation of quantitative synthetic biologists. The professorship represents the discipline quantitative synthetic biology in teaching at all levels of study (Medical Curriculum, BA, MA, PhD).
