We are seeking a faculty member (Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or M.D.) with expertise in omics studies in large populations or disease cohorts to lead an independent research group. A track record of independent NIH R01 or equivalent funding and a high impact publication track record is required. Working with underrepresented population groups is required. The investigator will have the opportunity to train students and postdoctoral fellows and is expected to collaborate with other faculty members. Wet lab space is available for researchers whose work requires it. The successful candidate will receive a generous start-up package and support will be provided.
Individuals will be appointed at Assistant, Associate, or Full Staff (equivalent to Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor, respectively) in the Department of Genomic Medicine in the Lerner Research Institute at Cleveland Clinic. For physician-scientists, joint appointments in clinical institutes will be made as appropriate. New recruits will join a highly collaborative environment within GSSB, with additional opportunities for collaboration and networking in the over 25 Departments and Centers at the Lerner Research Institute. Cleveland Clinic provides outstanding opportunities for interactions with basic, translational, and clinical investigators from multiple specialties. We have world-class core facilities with the opportunity to grow them through the substantial expansion of the Lerner Research Institute and the formation of the Global Center for Pathogen Research and Human Health.
The Lerner Research Institute, with nearly 190 independent investigators in over 25 Departments and Centers and an annual budget of ~ $300 million, has a commitment to excellence in basic, translational and clinical research, with an emphasis on collaborative science. Faculty typically also become members of the Molecular Medicine Graduate Training Program and other programs at the neighboring Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, providing access to excellent Ph.D. students and trainees.
