Faculty Positions in Regenerative and Aging Biology
MDIBL is undergoing a period of rapid growth and development. We are recruiting outstanding scientists at the assistant, associate, and full professor levels. Successful applicants will have research programs focused broadly on regenerative and aging biology; will be addressing significant questions in these areas at an integrative level using state-of-the-art genomic, genetic, and molecular approaches; and will be utilizing non-mammalian model organisms including genetically tractable species such as C. elegans and zebrafish. Candidates must possess a Ph.D. or M.D. degree, have a strong record of continuous research productivity, and have either active funding or clearly demonstrated potential for funding.
MDIBL provides a uniquely collaborative and multidisciplinary research environment, outstanding scientific resources, and at least 80% protected time for development and maintenance of independent, externally funded faculty research programs. Start-up packages and salary are highly competitive and commensurate with current rank and experience. Successful candidates will have appointments in the Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Medicine and adjunct appointments at neighboring academic research institutions.
Please include a cover letter, vitae, detailed research and career development plans, and the names and addresses of four references. Review of applications will continue until the positions are filled. Apply here.
