FACULTY POSITIONS
The Indiana University School of Optometry invites applications for
tenure-track faculty positions in the basic and/or clinical sciences
commencing in the Fall of 1997. Candidates with extraordinary promise in
any area of visual science will be considered, especially those relating to
Low Vision and Geriatrics, Ocular Disease, Biochemistry/Pharmacology,
and/or Visual Optics. We anticipate hiring at the level of assistant
professor, but outstanding candidates at senior levels may be considered.
Successful applicants will be expected to develop an independent research
program, contribute to our interdisciplinary graduate program in Visual
Science (with faculty from the departments of Psychology, Medical Sciences,
Ophthalmology, Speech and Hearing, Computer Science), and teach
professional-level courses in the School of Optometry. Special
opportunities to collaborate on clinical research are available under the
auspices of the Borish Center for Ophthalmic Research, a new enterprise in
multidisciplinary research at Indiana University.
Indiana University was founded in 1820 and is one of the oldest state
universities west of the Alleghenies. It currently enrolls about 25,000
undergraduates and 9,000 graduate students on the Bloomington campus. Many
of our graduate programs rank among the best in the country. The library's
collection, including the optometry/vision science collection held in the
Optometry branch library, is outstanding, and the School of Music is ranked
first in the country. Bloomington is a relaxed community located in a
beautifully wooded and hilly area of the state where cultural opportunities
abound, housing costs are low, schools are excellent, and commuting time is
short.
Indiana University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer,
and minority and women candidates are especially encouraged to apply.
