Department of Internal Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine

Indianapolis, Indiana

The Department of Medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) seeks a nationally recognized, visionary leader to become its next Division Director of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, and Occupational Medicine. This is a unique moment for the division as two major hospitals merge to form a single academic health center, with the new hospital facility opening in 2027. This is an opportunity for an incoming Director to lead a large, diverse division that has substantial local, regional, and national impact and take it to new heights.

The Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, and Occupational Medicine at IUSM is nationally recognized as a leader in patient care, research, and education. This division is the only one that is affiliated with a university in the State of Indiana, and the faculty represent a broad range of subspecialty expertise. The division delivers cutting-edge clinical services, advances scientific discovery through novel and collaborative research, and trains the next generation of specialists in pulmonology and critical care medicine. The division is the largest of ten subspecialty divisions within the Department of Medicine, consisting of 114 MD and PhD faculty, 38 advanced practice providers, and 24 fellows located at multiple sites across Indiana University Health (IU Health). Members of the division provide inpatient care at six hospitals and outpatient care in a variety of specialties at nine different locations around Indianapolis. These locations include the Richard L. Roudebush Veterans' Administration Medical Center, the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital (a county hospital in Indianapolis), and four IU Health locations in central Indiana. This statewide system provides the opportunity to pioneer innovative approaches across diverse communities in a variety of different clinical settings.

Reporting to the Chair of Medicine, the next Division Director will be a respected physician and successful researcher with a deep commitment to the tripartite mission, inclusive of optimizing clinical care; expanding discovery through basic, translational, clinical, and health services research; educating students, residents, and postdoctoral fellows; supporting growth by mentoring and recruiting strong faculty, staff, and trainees; and guiding administrative, budgetary, and philanthropic efforts. This position offers an opportunity to strengthen the alignment of the academic mission with clinical growth in a large but still expanding statewide health system. The next Division Director will be a transparent, collaborative, and creative leader who will be a champion for innovation and inclusion and enthusiastically engage multidisciplinary teams in a matrixed environment.

An MD, MD/PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree, with board certification in pulmonary, critical care, and/or sleep medicine, is required. The successful candidate will have a record commensurate with appointment at the rank of associate or full professor in the division.
