Job description

Position Details
Title Full Professor of Neurological Surgery Specific Title Director of the Indiana Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Group (ISCBIRG) Appointment Type Tenure Track Faculty Department IUSM - Neurological Surgery Campus IU School of Medicine Indianapolis Position Summary
Stark Neurosciences Research Institute (SNRI) and the Department of Neurological Surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) seek a highly qualified and productive researcher for a faculty position as a Full professor (tenure eligible) to be the Director of the Indiana Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Group (ISCBIRG). This leader will become a member of the SNRI Executive Committee (EC) and direct the ISCBIRG Research Group by leading ISCBIRG research-related initiatives and responsibilities, as outlined below.

The ISCBIRG at IUSM is an integrated component of Stark Neurosciences Research Institute. The group is comprised of a critical mass of key principal investigators who study molecular mechanisms underlying spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and develop novel repair strategies to promote neural reorganization and functional recovery in experimental models of these injuries. The long-term goal of these studies is to translate promising treatments from animal models to humans. Additionally, several faculty conduct ongoing clinical research on TBI in pediatric, adolescent, and adult patient populations.

The Department of Neurological Surgery provides world-class clinical care, education, and research in neurosurgery and related neurosciences. Research can include "bench" or laboratory research, translational science, clinical research, or clinical trials. Researchers in the Department of Neurological Surgery are passionate about developing innovative techniques and new treatment approaches that provide patients the best chance for healing, recovery, and improved quality of life. Whether through clinical and laboratory research projects or involvement in multi-center clinical trials and databases, neurological surgery researchers are advancing treatment solutions in this critical area of medicine. Indeed, faculty and staff are participating in several nationwide clinical trials.

ISCBIRG Research-Related Initiatives and Job Responsibilities:

To enhance the productivity of and collaborations between current pre-clinical and clinical investigators within Neurosurgery, ISCBIRG, and Stark Neuroscience: This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Facilitating new interdisciplinary collaborations between Neurosurgery, ISCBIRG and Stark Neuroscience faculty and faculty at IUSM- utilizing existing seed grant mechanisms as well as other potential matching fund mechanisms.
  • Promoting larger new research collaborations between Neurosurgery, ISCBIRG, and Stark Neuroscience faculty and those at IUSM
  • Identifying faculty facilitators to foster communication between clinical and basic science investigators.
  • Enhancing the existing Neurosurgery, ISCBIRG, and Stark Neuroscience intramural funding mechanism to encourage the collaboration between clinical and basic researchers.

To increase federal research funding within Neurosurgery, ISCBIRG, and Stark Neuroscience faculty. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Promoting cutting edge spinal cord and brain injury research that will lead to increased funding (with a focus/goal on NIH multi-PI R01s, P, and U grants) and high-impact (>10 Impact Factor) publications within and across the Institute.
  • Fostering the utilization of existing projects and future bi-campus seed projects to develop data to support new NIH and DOD grants
  • Encouraging faculty with existing NIH grants to collaborate with each other in complementary new areas and to encourage and foster new investigators to submit multi-PI NIH and DOD proposals
  • Continuing to expand collaborations with funded faculty in other IUSM departments and centers with the goal of developing data for NIH grants in entirely new areas.
  • Developing training grants to support the next generation of investigators and equipment grants to enable the success of all researchers.
