MNI is actively seeking applications from outstanding candidates for several tenure-track faculty positions.
- Neuroscientists who address fundamental mechanisms important for diseases of neurodegeneration are encouraged to apply for the newly established Terry and Shelley Barr Research Professorship. Depending on the 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. Outstanding applicants must have a PhD and/or MD degree and a strong record of research accomplishment. 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 and how their work addresses fundamental mechanisms of neurodegeneration, a personal statement describing how they will contribute to creating a diverse and inclusive scientific environment, and a teaching statement.
- 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, any model system, are needed.

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 located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a city consistently ranked among the best places to live in the United States.
MNI values a diverse and inclusive neuroscience community and those from groups who have been historically underrepresented in science and academia are strongly encouraged to apply.
