Multiple Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Neuroscience of Aging and CNS Diseases

As part of a major, multi-year 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 Health-Bloomington, and the School of Optometry invite applications for multiple tenure-track 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.

This cluster hire is part of a multi-year 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 Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, one of the 33 Alzheimer’s centers in the country. IU has top tier research facilities, including the Imaging Research Facility, with a research-dedicated Siemens 3-Tesla 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 Bloomington’s 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.
