The Single Cell Spatial Analysis Program (SCSAP), as part of the $150 million, campus-wide Biosciences Initiative at the University of Michigan, is soliciting applications for tenure-track faculty positions (all ranks). The SCSAP is a highly integrative program that provides an intellectual foundation and research resources to enhance single-cell and spatial analyses to the University of Michigan community. For more information, see https://singlecellspatialanalysis.umich.edu.
Primary departmental and school affiliation(s) will be determined by the applicant’s research area and existing programs. We welcome applications for any area of spatial biology, including but not limited to: new technologies for high-content spatial analyses using sequencing- and/or imaging-based approaches, bioimaging informatics and computational algorithms for integrated spatial ‘omics analyses, or applications of innovative approaches to addressing basic or applied biomedical and/or public health challenges. Successful candidates will become integral members and future leaders in the Single Cell Spatial Analysis Program.
The candidate is expected to have a doctoral degree (PhD and/or MD) in a relevant scientific, medical, or engineering discipline; a strong commitment to teaching excellence and mentorship; the ability to work collaboratively across disciplines; and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education.
Qualifications include a clear track record in the field of spatial analysis, an outstanding record of contributions to the field commensurate with rank, and evidence or strong potential of obtaining independent funding.
A complete application should include:
