Assistant or Associate Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology

The Columbia Stem Cell Initiative (CSCI) at Columbia University in the City of New York is seeking
candidates for a tenure track Assistant or Associate Professor position in the Vagelos College of Physicians

stem cell therapy, and aging biology. Successful candidates will have a laboratory in the newly renovated
CSCI space at CUIMC. They will be expected to develop a nationally and internationally recognized
extramurally funded research program and be committed to the graduate education and outreach missions
