One of the primary objectives of the Biosciences Initiative is working to improve quality and strategic coordination in faculty hiring. In order to strengthen and streamline faculty recruiting efforts in the biosciences across the breadth of the university, we are asking units for collaboration in these efforts. Coordination of departmental recruitments within the biosciences umbrella will help the recruiting effort be more transparent and efficient. In addition to aligning with the initiative’s goals, recruiting may be further accelerated by this coordinated effort.
Completion of the Biosciences Faculty Recruitment Details form is required for participation in the Biological Sciences Scholars Program (BSSP).
In parallel with the current hiring freeze, BSSP funds from the BICC are not currently available. Learn more from the BSI community letter on COVID-19.
