Assistant/Associate/Full Professor Molecular Omics
Indiana University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana, us, 46262
Overview
The School of Science (SoS) at Indiana University Indianapolis (IU Indianapolis) and newly established IU Convergent Biosciences and Technology Institute (CBATI) invite applications for tenured or tenure-track faculty positions, available at all levels, focused on advancing knowledge and developing innovative solutions in proteomics and allied fields. This interdisciplinary institute fosters collaboration across fields to address challenges related to regenerative biology, chemistry, medicine, hybrid biomaterials, tissue engineering, stem cell research, aging, and technology development. The tenure home of the selected candidates will be in one of six departments within the SoS: Biology, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Physics, or Psychology. Research areas
Applicants should have demonstrated experience in one or more fields of proteomics or other allied fields, such as structural proteomics/biophysics, quantitative proteomics, discovery/shotgun proteomics, imaging mass spectrometry, native mass spectrometry, metabolomics, lipidomics, glycomics, or next-gen proteomics sequencing and are expected to apply innovative approaches to address fundamental or translational biological questions relevant to the interests and goals of CBATI. A particular emphasis will be placed on research areas related to translational omics, biomarker development, and technology development. Successful candidates will have a laboratory in the state-of-the-art research space at CBATI. They will be expected to develop and maintain a nationally and internationally recognized extramurally funded research program and be committed to the education and outreach missions of CBATI, the recruiting department, SoS, and IU Indianapolis. Specific research areas
Translational Omics and Biomarker Development: Expertise in any or several of the following fields of omics. For example: Contribute to translational research programs integrating proteomics to identify clinically actionable protein biomarkers and therapeutic targets; Apply lipidomics to uncover lipid-based mechanisms and signatures relevant to disease progression and treatment response; Employ glycomics to support the discovery of glycan alterations with diagnostic and prognostic value in human health in virology/immunology and/or large molecule biotherapeutics; Leverage metabolomics to translate metabolic profiles into insights for precision medicine and patient stratification. The goal is the application of omics or multi—omics pipelines that bridge bench research with bedside applications. Technology Development: This field focuses on developing mass spectrometry, next-gen/nanopore or other omics technologies. Such technologies could include advances in molecular imaging, characterization of proteins and protein-ligand, protein-drug, protein-protein, and protein-RNA/DNA complex structures and dynamics, especially those with therapeutic potential, vertical advances in omics sample preparation/single cell omics, characterization of biomolecule modifications, and other forms of technology development advancing clinical and medicine/precision medicine applications. Responsibilities
Develop and maintain a robust, externally funded research program aligned with the missions of SoS and CBATI. Collaborate across disciplines within the School and the Institute to drive innovative research that addresses critical bioscience challenges. Teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses in their home department. Mentor and advise students, contributing to a diverse and inclusive academic community. Engage in service activities within the Department, School, Institute, University, and broader Indiana community. Qualifications
Education:
Ph.D. in life, health, or physical sciences or related fields. Research Experience:
All applicants should provide evidence of a strong record of scholarship in one or more of the identified research areas, with a demonstrated ability to secure external funding. Current and past record of external funding is highly desirable. Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
All applicants need to show a strong commitment to working in a multidisciplinary environment with researchers from a range of scientific backgrounds. Teaching and Mentoring:
All applicants should indicate evidence of effective teaching and commitment to fostering a respectful, and inclusive learning and working environments for students and colleagues. Application process
Applicants should submit an application letter, curriculum vitae, a detailed description of their research program, a statement of teaching philosophy, and names with contact information of three references when completing the online application. References will be contacted upon application submission by a system-generated email providing instructions and a link to upload their reference letter. About IU Indianapolis
As the state’s premier urban research institution, IU Indianapolis is committed to being a welcoming and inclusive campus community. We seek candidates who will pursue the highest standards of academic excellence and whose research, teaching, and community engagement efforts contribute to welcoming, respectful, and inclusive learning and working environments for our students, staff, and faculty. The IU Indianapolis School of Science is a hub for scientific research and education, offering a range of undergraduate and graduate programs across disciplines, and preparing students for careers in science, medicine, technology, and education through hands-on research and collaboration with leading industry and academic partners. The campus includes collaborations with the Indiana University School of Medicine, Regenstrief Institute, Roudebush VA Medical Center, IU Health, and other partners, with access to high-performance computing resources such as Quartz and Big Red 200. Review date
Review of applications will begin on September 30, 2025, and continue until the position(s) are filled. Contacts
