Appointment Status: Tenure Track
Department: IU Bloomington Vice Provost For Faculty Affairs
Location
Bloomington
Position Summary
Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology in the field of RNA Science and Technology. As a part of the Faculty 100 strategic initiative, we seek candidates developing innovative experimental and computational approaches to understand, visualize, or therapeutically target RNA and RNA machines, but all areas of RNA biology will be considered. Indiana University Bloomington provides a highly collaborative environment for RNA research, with existing strengths in structural biology, virology, genomics, computational biology, RNA regulation and modification, and synthetic biology. We encourage applications from scholars who apply interdisciplinary perspectives and share important research overlap with current IUB scholars, while also offering new dimensions that will expand and strengthen RNA science at IUB. Researchers have access to state-of-the-art facilities for genomics, light microscopy, physical biochemistry, structural biology (cryo-electron and crystallography) and advanced high-performance computing resources. This 10-month appointment would ideally start August 1, 2027, but start date is negotiable. Responsibilities: Tenured/tenure-track faculty are expected to substantially contribute to the overall academic excellence of the department by developing and/or maintaining a robust research program including pursuing and obtaining major extramural research funding to conduct cutting-edge research as a principal investigator; teaching and mentoring undergraduate and/or graduate students; and participating in service within the department, school and university and actively engaging with their professional community. Minimum Qualifications: Applicants should possess a doctoral degree and demonstrate a strong record of scholarly achievement appropriate to the level of appointment.
