SMPH Seeks Chairs for New Basic Science Departments
The UW School of Medicine and Public Health is launching two new basic science departments: Cell and Regenerative Biology, and Neuroscience. Chairs are being sought for both departments.
Chair of Cell and Regenerative Biology
The new Department of Cell and Regenerative Biology was created via the integration of faculty from the former departments of Anatomy, Pharmacology and Physiology. SMPH invites applications and nominations for the position of chair of this new department, which has 17 faculty members.
Candidates should be recognized leaders with outstanding academic backgrounds, including strong research credentials, demonstrated commitment to education, experience in mentoring junior faculty, and proven leadership and management skills. They must have a PhD degree or equivalent and must have academic credentials for a tenured faculty appointment at the UW-Madison.
