The Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI) at the University of Michigan invites applications for tenure-track faculty position 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. 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.
