Appointment Type: Tenure Track Faculty

Department: IUSM - Anatomy, Cell Biology & Physiology

Campus: IU School of Medicine Indianapolis

Position Summary
The Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) Department of Anatomy, Cell Biology & Physiology (ACBP) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the field of cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology. Well-qualified and highly motivated candidates at all academic ranks (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor) are welcome to apply. Applicants must hold a PhD and/or MD. Review of applications will occur on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Start dates are flexible.

The recruitment is aimed at expanding and strengthening cardiovascular physiology research on the Indianapolis campus. Areas of particular interest for this recruitment include integrative cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, heart failure, hypertension, vascular disease, and immunology in cardiovascular disease. Candidates whose research complements existing departmental and center strengths in cardiovascular research, immunology, metabolism, cell biology, ion transport, imaging, renal physiology, muscle and bone biology, and neuroscience are strongly encouraged to apply.

Successful candidates will be collaborative, interdisciplinary researchers who engage across the full spectrum of scientific activity-from basic discovery to translational and clinical research. Robust opportunities for collaboration exist through campus centers such as the Krannert Cardiovascular Research Center, Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health, the Center for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, and with partners throughout Indianapolis, including the Roudebush VA Medical Center and Regenstrief Institute. Opportunities exist to collaborate statewide through the Indiana Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), a consortium between IU, Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame. Successful candidates are expected to contribute to medical and graduate education.

The Department of ACBP conducts cutting-edge biomedical research across a wide range of diseases and disorders. We train future health-care professionals through innovative education and contribute to service initiatives that strengthen IUSM's research and teaching environment. Our long-standing strength lies in integrating various life-science fields - from cell and molecular biology and genetics to anatomy, neuroscience, musculoskeletal biology, histology, and advanced imaging - to address complex health challenges.

IU School of Medicine is committed to being a welcoming campus community and we seek candidates whose research, teaching, and community engagement efforts contribute to robust learning and working environments for all students, staff, and faculty. We invite individuals who will join us in our mission to improve health equity and well-being for all throughout the state of Indiana.
