The successful candidate will have sufficient training and background to be competitive for extramural funding within three years of their appointment. University and community service will be expected as appropriate. In addition, the incumbent would provide clinical care for patients with infectious diseases at IU approved locations and will teach medical students, residents, and fellows within the context of their clinical practice.

Completion of an accredited fellowship training program in infectious diseases is required for all candidates.
The Division of Infectious Diseases at IU includes 44 faculty, four Advanced Practice Providers, and four to six Fellows. The new Chair of the Department of Medicine, Dr. David Aronoff, is a member of the ID division. The division’s faculty lead cutting-edge research programs and can provide mentorship in HIV, global health, malaria, sexually transmitted infections, reproductive health, and immunology. The School’s and Department’s NIH rankings have steadily improved over the last five years with over 100% increase in federal funding over this period. The ID division has over 1300 sq ft of renovated laboratory space and a fully staffed clinical research unit to support new investigators. Generous startup funding and resources will be afforded to the successful candidate.
The ID Division actively collaborates with multiple other departments, including Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Microbiology & Immunology, and Biostatistics. In addition, our investigators have close partnerships and are supported by the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI), a statewide partnership between the IU School of Medicine, IU Bloomington, Purdue University, and the University of Notre Dame.
Research time will be devoted to chosen candidate’s area of interest within infectious diseases. Clinical responsibilities will include seeing patients with infectious diseases in the outpatient clinic and inpatient units at IU approved locations. An equitable role in the teaching activities of the Infectious Diseases Division will be expected along with attendance at clinical conferences, fellowship curriculum conferences, and precepting fellows in outpatient clinics.
