Multiple Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Neuroscience of Aging and CNS Diseases at Indiana University-Bloomington

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/tenure-track positions at the assistant, associate professor, and full 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 disease-related 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 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.
