Faculty Recruitment for the University of Rochester Center for RNA Biology Core

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案提出了为罗彻斯特大学医学中心RNA生物学中心聘请一名新的终身教职人员申请初始资金的基本原理。该教员将加入一个由16名研究科学家组成的高度整合和互动的小组，他们对RNA的结构和功能有共同的兴趣。招聘计划利用这些优势，并寻求通过增加一名在小RNA功能领域具有专业知识的科学家来扩大中心的多学科范围。该提案概述了一系列现有的学术和研究职业发展支持服务，旨在确保新初级教员的成功指导。此外，新教师将有充分的机会使用优秀的核心研究设施和充满活力的综合研究生培训计划。该提案设想任命新聘人员进入基础生物医学科学的几个已建立的学位授予项目之一，并由杰出的学术科学家组成的核心小组担任导师。最后，URMC承诺在本提案要求的资金之外，为招聘的教员提供三年的全额财政支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal presents the rationale for a request for initial funds to hire a new tenure-track faculty member in the RNA Center for Biology at the University of Rochester Medical Center. The faculty member will join a highly integrated and interactive group of 16 research scientists with a shared interest in the structure and function of RNA. The recruitment plan leverages these strengths and seeks to broaden the Center's multidisciplinary scope by adding a scientist with expertise in the area of small RNA function. The proposal outlines a broad array of existing academic and research career development support services designed to ensure the successful mentoring of a new junior faculty member. Moreover, the new faculty member will have full access to outstanding core research facilities and a vibrant, integrated graduate training program. The proposal envisions the appointment of the recruit to one of several established degree-granting programs in the basic biomedical sciences and mentorship by a core group of outstanding academic scientists. Finally, the URMC is committed to full financial support of the recruited faculty member for 3 years beyond the funds requested by this proposal.
