Bloomington
Position Summary
As part of a major, multi-year initiative to expand specific research areas across the IU Bloomington campus, the Departments of Biology and Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry invite applications at the Associate or Full Professor level in the area of Virology; established Assistant Professors will also be considered. We are particularly interested in scientists investigating the biology and pathogenesis of human viruses, emphasizing emerging and re-emerging viruses including (but not limited to) SARS coronavirus, influenza virus, norovirus, and HIV. Scientists with expertise in the immunology, molecular epidemiology, or molecular biology of these viruses are also encouraged to apply. Start dates of Fall 2023 or Fall 2024 are possible.
The hire will complement and broaden the highly collaborative IU community of internationally recognized virologists. The community includes fifteen well-funded laboratories in the Departments of Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Chemistry, and Bioengineering. Scientific strengths include structural virology, virus-host interaction, virus assembly, VLP platform technologies, antiviral and vaccine development, and development of cutting-edge analytical methods for examining viruses. Several virology-oriented labs have strong interactions with industry to translate academic research into real world applications. IU virology laboratories are supported by outstanding research resources, including state-of-the-art facilities for genomics and bioinformatics, light and electron microscopy, flow cytometry, protein analysis, biophysical instrumentation, and crystallography.
