Department Chair and Full Professor: Biomedical Engineering and Informatics
The Indiana University Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering at IU Indianapolis invites applications for a tenured full professor position to serve as chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI). Ideally, the appointment will begin January 1, 2025 on the IU Indianapolis campus, however, we realize candidates might not be available to start until summer or fall of 2025. Exceptional faculty candidates are being sought to join our expanding and fast-growing department. We welcome applications from established researchers with collaborative research teams. Candidates will be considered from all areas at the intersection of informatics, computing, engineering and medicine, including but not limited to bioinformatics, health and clinical informatics, biomedical engineering, bioelectronics and bioengineering. Candidates must be tenured and demonstrate an excellent scholarly record of externally-funded research, effective and well-reviewed teaching, a forward-looking agenda of research and education, and last but not the least a record of leadership experience in an academic setting.
The new chair will have the opportunity to shape and expand a dynamic department on the premier urban research campus of Indiana University. By strengthening or complementing the faculty research in the department, the ideal candidates will use creative, innovative approaches and technologies to address fundamental scientific challenges in one or more areas of biomedical informatics and engineering with broader societal impact, and have the potential to leverage the strengths of Luddy, including: the Polis Center, the Luddy AI Center, leadership on the campus-level Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute (INDI), the unique location in downtown Indianapolis, and interdisciplinary, collegial and collaborative environment, as well as direct access to the research enterprise of IU School of Medicine, the largest medical school in the country, located on the Indianapolis campus. The incoming chair is also expected to further the research impact of the department by leveraging two newly established campus-wide research institutes at IU Indianapolis: The Institute for Human Health and Wellbeing (H2W) and The Convergent Bioscience and Technology Institute (CBATI). These Indianapolis-based institutes will drive transformative research in the areas of health, medicine, life sciences and biotechnology, while equipping IU to nimbly address emerging disciplines. The BMEI department will play a central role in advancing the academic and research mission of these institutes.
