Multiple, Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty Positions Applying Precision Approaches in Toxicology, Environmental Health, and Disease Treatment

Indiana University is undertaking a major, multi-year initiative to expand research activities related to the use of non-mammalian model organisms, animal alternatives, and animal compliments for understanding environmental contributions to human health, with a special emphasis on chemical safety research. We are particularly interested in those working to advance research in the development of non-targeted biological and chemical assays, as well as, data driven approaches to understand biomolecular, physiological, and toxicological, responses of chemical exposure, including pharmaceuticals and complex environmental mixtures. This work will help identify and classify chemical pollution, support the implementation of chemical regulations, accelerate drug discovery, and improve food safety/security.

We encourage applications from scholars in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, medicine, physiology, toxicology, or related fields who apply interdisciplinary perspectives across a variety of these domains. This initiative spans the IU Bloomington campus, including the College of Arts and Sciences, Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and School of Public Health-Bloomington. Applications are invited for multiple tenure/tenure-track positions at the associate professor rank to begin as early as the Fall of 2025. Appointments will be in one or more departments or faculty groups, including Chemistry, Biology, Environmental and Occupational Health, Environmental Science, or Intelligent System Engineering.

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.

Application Procedures: Applicants should apply online and include a letter of application; CV; and statements on research and teaching. IUB faculty members are expected to interact with our diverse student and faculty community. As such, we are especially interested in applicants with a record of successful teaching and mentoring of students from diverse backgrounds; applicants are encouraged to address this experience in their letter of application and define how this experience will enhance their research, mentoring, teaching, and/or service at IUB.

Applicants seeking appointment at the associate professor rank should apply at https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/25739 and be prepared to provide the names of six references. Review of applications will begin immediately and for best consideration, applications should be received by October 15, 2024. Applications will continue to be accepted until all positions are filled.

Before any conditional offer of employment with tenure is finalized, candidates will be asked to disclose any pending investigations or previous findings of sexual or professional misconduct. They will also be required to authorize an inquiry by Indiana University Bloomington with all current and former employers along these lines. The relevance of information disclosed or ascertained in the context of this process to a candidate’s eligibility for hire will be evaluated by Indiana University Bloomington on a case-by-case basis. Applicants should be aware, however, that Indiana University Bloomington takes the matters of sexual and professional misconduct very seriously.
