The Indiana University School of Nursing is a core school with campuses in Bloomington, Fort Wayne, and Indianapolis. All School of Nursing faculty are tenured through IU Indianapolis. This position is located on the campus of Indiana University, Bloomington (IUB) in Bloomington, Indiana, and successful candidates are expected to work on the IUB campus to allow full engagement with the department, school, campus, and community.

Indiana University bases its tenure and promotion recommendations upon performance in three areas including research, teaching, and service and scholars are expected to substantially contribute to the overall academic excellence of their department by developing and/or maintaining a robust research portfolio including pursuing and obtaining major extramural research funding to conduct cutting-edge research both as a corresponding principal investigator and a collaborating investigator;

teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students as designated by the associate dean; and actively providing service within the department, school and university alongside active engagement with the profession and/or the community.

The faculty member will be expected to:

• Lead (PI, MPI) at least two R01 or equivalent federal grant submissions annually (NIH, AHRQ, CDC, PCORI, NSF), contributing directly to IUB’s target of 200% growth in large external grants, and/or:
  • Serve as a PI on community-engaged or translational research that advances the IUB goal of accelerating translational research with societal impact in Indiana.
  • Pursue large-scale, federally coordinated grants (e.g., P-series, U-series) in collaboration with IUB partner schools.
• Publish peer-reviewed work in high-impact journals in nursing science, public health, or health services research, advancing IUB’s citation and Scholarly Research Index metrics.
• Build a research team inclusive of PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and undergraduate honors students.
• Draw on existing IUSON PhD/Master's pipeline for collaborative research activity, connecting BL-based research projects with IU Indianapolis-based graduate program.

Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in nursing (or a related field; must have an M.S.N. if Ph.D. is not in nursing), hold Indiana R.N. licensure, and be committed to excellence in scholarship and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level.

Candidates for w/tenure positions must demonstrate a record of scholarly achievement appropriate for an appointment w/tenure, including extramurally funded research as a corresponding principal investigator, current funding or strong potential to secure external funding,…
