Position Summary
As part of a major multiyear initiative to expand research activities in the Neuroscience of Aging and CNS diseases on the IU Bloomington campus the College of Arts and Sciences the School of Public HealthBloomington and the School of Optometry invite applications for multiple tenuretrack positions at the assistant professor rank to begin in the Fall of 2025. Appointments will be in one or more departments in the College of Arts and Sciences including Psychological and Brain Sciences and Speech Language and Hearing Sciences within the School of Public Health including the departments of Kinesiology and Health & Wellness Design and/or within the School of Optometry. We encourage scholars interested in aging (typical aging processes or diseaserelated processes) who apply interdisciplinary perspectives from a variety of domains including neuroscience and vision science psychology biology gerontology speech language and hearing sciences motor control and public health among others. Neuroscience approaches are broadly construed including single cell recording circuit manipulations fMRI EEG fNIRS brain stimulation retinal imaging and psychophysics to name a few and may target either human or animal models of human conditions. We are interested in scholars who work at the basic translational and/or clinical levels of science. This cluster hire is part of a multiyear initiative that will position IU at the forefront of research on normal and pathological aging and CNS diseases. These hires are expected to build on strong established collaborations between researchers at the IU campus and the regional Indiana Alzheimers Disease Research Center one of the 33 Alzheimers centers in the country. IU has top tier research facilities including the Imaging Research Facility with a researchdedicated Siemens 3Tesla Prisma MRI scanner state of the art bench neuroscience laboratories a barrier animal facility flow cytometry proteomics a drosophila center and light microscopy facilities. IU Bloomingtons Program in Neuroscience includes more than 80 faculty from different departments whose research focuses in four core research areas: behavioral neuroscience clinical and translational neuroscience cognitive and computational neuroscience and molecular and cellular neuroscience. IU is also a primary hub for the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute leveraging relationships with Purdue University the University of Notre Dame and the Regenstrief Institute to solve pressing health challenges. Responsibilities: Candidates are expected to sustain an active externally funded research program to engage undergraduate and graduate students through effective teaching and to participate in service to the University and the profession.
