Indiana University Academic Positions
Position Summary
The Department of Medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine ( IUSM ) in collaboration with Regenstrief Institute are seeking outstanding candidates with a track record of high-quality Geroscience research for the position of Associate Professor or Professor of Medicine. This tenured or tenure track faculty position will include a joint appointment as an Investigator in the IU Center for Aging Research at Regenstrief Institute and a Regenstrief Institute Endowed Chair. Candidates should have an MD/DO and/or PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in public health, clinical research, health services, gerontology, behavioral and social sciences, allied health or a related field. Candidates also should have demonstrated excellence in translational patient-oriented research or clinical aging research. Applicants are expected to have publications in the field and to have an independent research program in aging research supported by extramural funding consistent with expectations for the Associate or Full Professor rank. The successful candidate will be instrumental to growing the School and the center’s culture of collaborative, impactful clinical research in Geroscience. Areas of special research interest include mechanisms that impact rates of aging and health outcomes including a focus on sarcopenia, frailty, mobility, musculoskeletal disease prevention/health promotion, or human functioning. Research should include a focus on health care outcomes, delivery and/or implementation with human subject participants as the focus of study. The candidates will lead or contribute to applications for centers of excellence, new, innovative areas of aging research, research training programs, and similar collaborative initiatives to enhance our research enterprise. A successful candidate will have sufficiently comprehensive knowledge of the domains listed above and advance interdisciplinary research partnerships within the following institutions: Regenstrief Institute’s Centers for Health Services Research, Biomedical Informatics, and Aging Research Campus centers including the Center for Musculoskeletal Health, Simon Cancer Center, Cardiovascular Institute, and Stark Neurosciences Institute Academic Partners including the IU Schools of Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, and others; Purdue University Health systems partners including Indiana University Health, Eskenazi Health, and the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center In particular, the Endowed Chair will be expected to engage creatively to address critical training, mentoring, and recruitment strategies that intersect with, complement, and expand existing research and methodological foci with the goal of increasing the number of Geroscience researchers. The facilitation of cross-disciplinary collaboration between investigators from different Centers in the Institute (Center for Aging Research, Center for Biomedical Informatics, Center for Health Services Research) and programs (Regenstrief Data Services and Health Data Standards, Learning Health Systems, and Health Disparities and Equity Research) is highly encouraged. The Regenstrief Institute is a 501 c(3) dynamic, independent research organization that, for 50 years, has continuously supported Indiana University’s School of Medicine as it carries out its mission to develop, conduct, and disseminate impactful scientific research in health systems and across communities. The Institute embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion as fundamental elements of a healthy life and community. The Institute values include addressing the needs of communities and populations through mutually beneficial partnerships, disseminating discoveries to drive improvements in health and healthcare, recruit and retain the best and the brightest, conduct research that increase equity, and collaborate to solve problems and drive interdisciplinary innovation. The Institute’s long history of discovery and development of cutting-edge technologies has led to impacts regionally, nationally and internationally, spanning research in health services, biomedical informatics, and aging. Resources include the Indiana Network for Patient Care data set with medical records data for over 20 million patients including social determinants of health variables, the IU Health electronic health record ( EHR ) data warehouse, and the Eskenazi EHR data warehouse as well as partnerships with these clinical partners focused on learning health systems and health disparities. Talented professional staff support an internationally recognized group of faculty investigators from both Indiana University and Purdue University who pursue work that integrates research discovery, technological advances, and systems enhancement to improve health and healthcare. Faculty investigators have achieved a high level of success in generating extramural funding, which resulted in a footprint across the University and the Institute of over $50 million in the last fiscal year. The IU Center for Aging Research is a collaborative effort between the IU School of Medicine and the Regenstrief Institute. Faculty at the center focus on research topics that affect the aging population, including brain health, decision-making, physical fitness, transitional care, nursing home care, and medication use. Additional information on the center can be found here: https://www.regenstrief.org/centers/iu-center-for-aging-research/ The Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics, within the Department of Medicine, is one of the largest in the country with over 300 faculty involved in teaching, service, and research. The division includes primary care, geriatrics, hospital medicine, palliative medicine, and global medicine and ethics. Faculty practice at three health systems and are leaders in the teaching and research missions of the school. More information on the division can be found here: https://medicine.iu.edu/internal-medicine/specialties/general The Indiana University School of Medicine, with more than 2000 faculty, 1400 medical students, 1100 residents and fellows, and approximately 200 graduate PhD students, is one of the largest medical schools in the country and annually ranks among the top medical schools in the nation. The school offers high-quality medical education, access to leading medical research, and rich campus life in nine Indiana cities, including rural and urban locations consistently recognized for livability. IU School of Medicine is committed to providing dual career services to assist new faculty with their personal or family relocation needs. IUSM is committed to being an institution that reflects the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve and pursues the values of equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence. We desire candidates whose work contributes to equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for our learners, 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.
