Completion of an accredited fellowship training program in infectious diseases is required for all candidates.
The Division of Infectious Diseases at IU includes 44 faculty, four Advanced Practice Providers, and four to six Fellows.

The ID division has over 1300 sq ft of renovated laboratory space and a fully staffed clinical research unit to support new investigators. Generous startup funding and resources will be afforded to the successful candidate.
