Presentations by Candidates for Executive Director of the Michigan Neuroscience Institute

September 21, 2022

Neuroscience research is one of the areas of focus of the “Great Minds, Greater Discoveries” strategic research plan. A commitment to the Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI) plays an important role in that strategy, and a national search was launched earlier this year for an executive director for MNI. The new executive director will spearhead increased collaboration among our neuroscientists, coalescing neuroscience programs across the entire U-M campus.

A cross-campus search committee, led by Lori Isom, Ph.D., and Martin Myers, M.D., Ph.D., and with the assistance of a national search firm, has worked diligently to narrow down the field of applicants to four candidates. All are renowned in the neuroscience field, and each has been scheduled for on-campus interviews.

During their visit, they will share his or her vision for the institute during a public presentation and meet with representatives from U-M. All candidate presentations and subsequent Q&A sessions will be live-streamed on Zoom (login using @umich.edu), recorded, and shared for those who cannot attend in-person.
