Search to join the Arc Institute as an Innovation Investigator

Arc Institute seeks outstanding scientists to join the Institute as Innovation Investigators. The successful applicants would be awarded $1 million in unrestricted funding over 5 years to pursue visionary ideas in curiosity-driven science and technology development. Innovation Investigators are current faculty at our three partner universities (Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and UCSF) who act as intellectual bridges between the universities and the institute, while maintaining their labs, employment and appointments at their home university. During the 5-year appointment, Innovation Investigators benefit from access to Arc resources and facilities, including the opportunity to collaborate with our Technology Centers and to use Arc scientific core facilities.
