Summary

The Ignite Scholar role is ideal for talented biomedical researchers who have recently completed their doctoral degree and seek a mentored pathway toward a tenure track faculty position. The program has two tracks, (1) research and (2) graduate education in biomedical science and innovation. The research track is designed to provide a platform for building a robust research program with minimal initial teaching responsibilities. The graduate education in biomedical science and innovation track…

aims to establish a strong foundation for a successful career in educational scholarship and faculty teaching. The successful candidate will work closely with a senior mentor at NEOMED to develop an independent research career. Fields of study include: neuroscience, cancer biology, cardiovascular biology, tissue regeneration, motor control, bioinformatics, and graduate biomedical science, data science, and innovation.

After successful completion of the two-to-three-year program, including meeting productivity criteria and demonstration of teaching competence, the scholar will automatically be appointed to a tenure track assistant professor position.

Principal Functional Responsibilities

Scholarly Pursuits and Research:

At least 90% of the Ignite Scholar’s time in the research track will be protected for research.
At least 50% of the Ignite Scholar’s time in the graduate education track will be protected for educational research, dissemination, and grant writing.
Conduct collaborative scholarly inquiry, write and publish quality papers, and participate in scholarly activities within the laboratory.
Conduct innovative research within the mentor’s lab, developing a new research initiative that melds the candidate’s previous experience with the expertise of the research mentor.
Collaborate with the mentor to formulate a personalized research development plan with clear milestones toward achieving research independence.
Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at relevant conferences.
Write and submit at least one extramural grant application

Mentorship and Career Development:

Work closely with the assigned mentor to receive guidance on research strategies, grant applications, and career development.
Participate in regular meetings with the mentor to review progress and adjust the research development plan as needed.
Engage in professional development opportunities and networking to enhance research skills and career prospects.

Teaching:

The candidate may participate in graduate or medical student education and lab personnel training. Previous teaching experience is not required.
For the Research Track: Perform approximately 5 hours of teaching per year, which may include guest lectures or seminar presentations. Upon successful transition to tenure track assistant professor, teaching duties will be those of any full-time tenure-track faculty.
For the Graduate Education in Biomedical Science & Innovation Track: Perform approximately 15 hours of mentored teaching and student advisement per week including course preparation, content delivery, assessment, and student mentoring. A faculty educational mentor will provide peer-review of performance and offer supportive resources for curriculum development.

Service:

No service requirement during participation in the Ignite Scholars program. Service requirements upon transition to tenure track assistant professor will be consistent with those for others of similar rank at NEOMED.

Administrative and Collaborative Duties:

Collaborate in preparation of grant proposals and research reports.
Collaborate with other researchers, both within the laboratory and across the institution, to foster interdisciplinary research opportunities.
Contribute to the research environment by participating in lab meetings and contributing to collaborative projects.

Qualifications

Education:

PhD or equivalent in biomedical sciences or a closely related discipline, with the degree requirements expected to be completed before appointment starts
Early postdoctoral experience preferred

Requirements:

Must be eligible to submit NIH or NSF proposals

Experience:

Demonstrated research experience with a track record of first author publications in high impact peer-reviewed journals.
Evidence of strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Skills:

Proficiency in relevant techniques for the candidate’s research area
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a research setting.

Personal Attributes:

Strong motivation and ambition to build a research career.
Openness to mentorship and guidance.
Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
