The muscle recruitment is part of a broad initiative between ACBP and the Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health (ICMH) to expand ongoing neuromusculoskeletal biology research on the Indianapolis campus.  Potential recruitments through the ACBP/ICMH partnership should align with the areas of interest for ACBP, which include: skeletal muscle physiology and regeneration, developmental biology, exercise, and musculoskeletal imaging. The department has a special interest in primary musculoskeletal cancers and the effects of cancer on the musculoskeletal system. The IUSM is committed to advancing outstanding musculoskeletal research in an integrated environment of basic science and clinical care.  Faculty must be highly collaborative and eager to work in interdisciplinary teams across fields and participate in the entire research spectrum (basic science, translational, clinical).  Opportunities exist for collaborations on translational research within the musculoskeletal disorder fields throughout Indianapolis, including the thriving neuromusculoskeletal biology research program at the Roudebush VA Hospital, as well as at IUSM centers around the state. The successful applicant will have opportunities to engage in medical and graduate teaching.  Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis; start dates are flexible.
