An accomplished and engaged faculty is central to the academic mission of IU Bloomington to create, disseminate, preserve, and apply knowledge.
With the direction and support of President Whitten, the first phase of the Faculty 100 initiative was launched in fall 2022 with the goal of amplifying our success in core research areas and position the Bloomington campus for success well into the future. Phase one was completed at the end of 2023.
As announced in the State of the Campus address, we are now launching phase two. Phase two will prioritize hiring new faculty in alignment with two goals:
We expect these intentional hires to expand capacity by not only providing a greater volume of work in areas of strategic importance, but leading to more impactful collaboration within and among departments. Such an increase in capacity has the power to improve the undergraduate experience, grow graduate education, and amplify the translational impact of research.
Each drop down provides additional information for each search as well as a link to the application(s). For more information, please email faculty1@iu.edu for the technology related searches for faculty2@iu.edu for the life science related searches.
