Application for BTP Faculty Membership
At this time we do not anticipate adding new BTP faculty as we seek to keep the size of BTP faculty commensurate with the number of NIH and UMASS traineeships we have available. Nevertheless, we occasionally have openings for new BTP faculty. We are always mindful of adding faculty with a strong connection to biotechnology and engaging faculty who are not committed to other NIH and NSF funded graduate training programs.
