FACULTY POSITIONS IN MOLECULAR, CELLULAR, AND DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY - UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

The Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB) in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan solicits applications for faculty positions at the assistant professor level, but appointment at a more senior level is possible for applicants with suitable experience. We seek to fill two open positions:  One in neuroscience broadly defined, and one in anyarea of research within the scope of the Department, which includes studies of model organisms (animals, microbes, and plants) using diverse approaches (biochemistry and structural biology, cell and developmental biology, genetics and genomics, molecular biology, and physiology). For the neuroscience position, we encourage applications from scientists who use cellular, genetic, molecular, and/or in vivoimaging approaches. The faculty positions will be tenure track or tenured with a university year appointment starting September 1, 2016 or January 1, 2017. Successful candidates will be expected to establish a vigorous, extramurally funded research program and to be involved with instruction of both undergraduate and graduate students. For further information about research areas in MCDB, please visit www.lsa.umich.edu/mcdb.

All applications must be submitted on-line at  http://labs.mcdb.lsa.umich.edu/search15 .  You will be asked to upload the following materials:  A cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a brief summary of recent research accomplishments and statement of future research plans, a statement of teaching philosophy and experience, and evidence of teaching excellence for those who have teaching experience. Candidates for appointment at the assistant professor level should provide names and contact information for at least three references, as instructed in the on-line application form. To ensure full consideration, all materials should be received by October 10, 2015.
