Welcome to the Department of Cell & Systems Biology
The molecular biology revolution that dominated the life sciences in the second half of the 20th century has given us an unprecedented ability to explore the behaviour of cells - the fundamental units of life - in terms of molecular processes within and between cells. Researchers in the Department of Cell and Systems Biology, combine many different high-throughput, cell imaging, and physiological methods to characterize and understand cellular and physiological processes in both model (Arabidopsis, Drosophila, Mouse, Zebrafish, Pseudomonads) and non-model organisms.

Faculty Position
The Department of Cell & Systems Biology at the University of Toronto invites applications for a tenure track faculty position to be appointed at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor beginning July 1, 2010.
We are interested in outstanding candidates that complement existing strengths in the department in the areas of genomics, cell and developmental biology, and neurophysiology using high-throughput approaches or gene/protein network analyses with genomic, proteomic, or advanced cell biological and imaging tools. We particularly encourage applications from candidates who are addressing fundamental questions in plant and microbial biology but will consider all outstanding candidates within the framework of our department.
