The Cleveland Clinic is searching for an Associate or Full Professor-level faculty member to join its multidisciplinary Department of Quantitative Health Sciences on the Cleveland Clinic main campus. This full-time faculty position offers a unique opportunity to contribute both collaboratively and independently with musculoskeletal researchers, spanning the range from basic and translational studies to sports medicine to orthopaedic surgery cohort studies and randomized trials, within a leading healthcare environment.

Position Overview

• Collaborative Research (70%): Design and analyze complex observational and experimental studies, including randomized clinical trials, in partnership with investigators from the Cleveland Clinic Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Musculoskeletal Research Center.
• Independent Research (30%): Engage in independent research projects that advance the fields of biostatistics, epidemiology, data science, and their contributions to musculoskeletal research.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of physicians, scientists, and engineers in musculoskeletal research.
• Lead and mentor a team of MS-level biostatisticians supporting musculoskeletal research.
• Develop and deploy data-intensive research studies, including the integration of diverse data sources (basic science, -omics, imaging, and patient-reported outcomes).
• Build data-driven models for patient phenotyping and outcome prediction using a wide range of modeling techniques, from classical statistical methods to artificial intelligence/machine learning and digital twinning.

Appointment Details

• Funding: This is a hard-money faculty position with no explicit requirements to obtain additional external funding. However, a large portion of this individual’s effort will be in collaboration with musculoskeletal researchers to support extramurally funded programs, from which some external funding would be anticipated.
• Academic Affiliation: Non-tenured appointment at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, with rank commensurate with experience.

Application Instructions

Interested candidates should submit the following materials:

• Curriculum vitae (CV)
• A research statement summarizing your experience, research interests, and fit for the position.
• Names and contact information of at least three references.

Please send your application materials to: qhsjobsearchORI@ccf.org.
