About the role

NEOMED invites applications for the Ignite Scholar program, a mentored pathway toward a tenure-track faculty position in Biomedical Sciences. The program offers two tracks—Research and Graduate Education—designed to build an independent research career with senior mentorship. Recent PhD graduates or early postdocs will develop a personalized plan with milestones, aiming to automatic tenure-track appointment after 2–3 years upon meeting productivity criteria and teaching competence.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
