NSF BIO is particularly interested in candidates with demonstrated experience in biological sciences disciplines, strategic leadership, research administration, innovation, and collaboration across academia, industry and government. 

The NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) invests in research that crosses all areas of biology at all scales of biological organization from molecules to cells to organisms to communities to ecosystems, across spatial and temporal dimensions. These areas are encompassed by BIO’s three thematic areas:  Foundations of Life (exploring natural or synthetic molecules, cells and physiology that build living things); Living Systems (understanding how species evolve, interact, and shape Earth’s ecosystems); and Bioinnovation and Infrastructure (investigating the functional genomic complexity of life and developing the tools, data, and technologies to drive biological discovery). BIO enables research in these areas of biology by funding physical and cyberinfrastructure, such as centers, institutes, and multi-user facilities. BIO is also committed

<div data-chronoton-summary="
Building up: IBM has unveiled a prototype chip that stacks transistors in two vertical layers—a design the company calls a nanostack—doubling the density of its previous state-of-the-art tech and fitting roughly 100 billion transistors onto an area the size of a fingernail.
A meaningful leap in performance: Compared to IBM’s previous state-of-the-art approach, the new design can be used to make chips that handle up to 50% more work in the same amount time and run up to 70% more efficiently—gains that could meaningfully improve energy use in data centers within a decade.
Not without complications: The technology is not yet in production, and stacking transistors introduces real manufacturing headaches: more transistor layers opens up more room for errors, and engineers must build each tier without generating enough heat to melt the connections below—a constraint IBM has solved, though it won’t say how.” data-chronoton-post-id=”1139696″ data-chronoton-expand-collapse=”1″
