We’re seeking exceptional faculty to move MizzouForward in national health and scientific priority areas related to our NextGen Precision Health Initiative. To further interdisciplinary collaboration, the university will consider faculty candidates in several areas of research.
A successful MizzouForward candidate is an accomplished researcher with a passion for collaboration and the desire to address our world’s most pressing needs. The colleagues we’re looking to recruit possess:
- A proven track record of external research funding, particularly from federal agencies
- A research agenda that complements the goals of MizzouForward
- A strong publication record
- Evidence of external recognition of one’s work, such as national awards and honors, membership with national academies, etc.
- Interdisciplinary research that has the potential to impact multiple disciplines
If you’re interested in learning more or you know an exceptional investigator who can help us reach our research goals, we want to hear from you. Faculty ready to move Mizzou forward should apply now.
In addition to the state-of-the-art resources available to researchers through the NextGen Precision Health Institute, researchers at Mizzou are right next door to MU Health Care’s hospitals and clinics and MU campus research. Mizzou resources available to support NextGen researchers include:
