Multiple Faculty Positions Open in RNA Biosciences

Faculty

The Center for RNA Biomedicine, recently becoming a pioneering part of the $150M University of Michigan Biosciences Initiative, solicits applications for faculty positions at the assistant professor level. The faculty positions will be on the tenure track with university year appointments starting Sep. 1, 2022, or Jan. 1, 2023.

Candidates must have the following qualifications:

• A PhD, MD, or other terminal degree
