The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a world-class university with a long history of academic excellence (see http://www.admin.uiuc.edu/pubaff/facts96.html).  Recently the state of Illinois has made a major investment of $80 millions for the establishment of the Post-Genomic Institute that will significantly expand the scope and infrastructure of biological sciences at this campus.  The outstanding reputation in physical, biological, chemical, biochemical, computer and engineering sciences of the University, plus its recent commitment to post-genomic research, provides a highly beneficial environment for our efforts in continuing and expanding studies of biological recognition, human disease and drug discovery in the post-genomic era.  Therefore, we encourage your interest in joining us at this exciting time.  

In addition to research, the twin-cities of Urbana-Champaign are wonderful places to live (see http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/join/life.html).  With its beautiful suburban environment and easy access to Chicago (2 hour drive), Urbana-Champaign provides excellent school systems for children and has a very affordable cost of living (for detailed comparison of living cost with other U.S. cities, please see http://www2.homefair.com/calc/salcalc.html).
