Society for Neuroscience
Overview
The Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI) at the University of Michigan invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor rank, but applicants at other ranks will be considered. We seek outstanding neuroscientists who apply genome- or brain-wide experimental and/or computational methods to address the complexity of the brain at high spatial or temporal resolution in any model system. We are especially interested in those developing or applying artificial intelligence and/or experimentally addressing human brain function or disease. Depending on scientific focus, the successful candidate's research program may be housed within the NeuroInnovation Center at the North Campus Research Complex or within other research units on the U-M campus.
The Michigan Neuroscience Institute is a newly expanded cross-campus institute that catalyzes interdisciplinary neuroscience research across 159 labs, 30 departments and 6 schools at the University of Michigan. Our mission is to leverage advances across all fields of science and engineering to solve the mysteries of the brain and to apply those discoveries to advance human health. MNI is in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a city consistently ranked among the best places to live in the United States.
Qualifications Applicants must have a PhD and/or MD degree and a strong record of research accomplishment.
Responsibilities
Contribute to a tenure-track research program in neuroscience at the Assistant Professor rank (with consideration of other ranks).
Develop a research program that may involve genome- or brain-wide experimental and/or computational methods with high spatial or temporal resolution in any model system.
Collaborate within the MNI and/or cross-campus units; potential housing in the NeuroInnovation Center at the North Campus Research Complex or other UM units.
Engage in teaching commitments as determined by the home department.
Application Instructions Applicants should submit a cover letter with names and contacts of three references, a full CV, a research statement (3 pages) describing past, current and future research plans, highlighting potential collaborations within the MNI. Teaching commitments will depend on the academic home department.
All application materials should be submitted electronically to: https://apply.interfolio.com/172094. Please direct any questions to MNI.Neuroscience.Applications@umich.edu. Applications received before November 1, 2025, will receive fullest consideration.
Background Screening Michigan Medicine conducts background screening and pre-employment drug testing on job candidates upon acceptance of a contingent job offer and may use a third party administrator to conduct background screenings. Background screenings are performed in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Pre-employment drug testing applies to all selected candidates, including new or additional faculty and staff appointments, as well as transfers from other U-M campuses.
Equal Employment Opportunity The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity employer.
