Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) seeks to hire a faculty member to lead research in the area of neuromuscular and skeletal biomechanics or related studies. We desire a highly creative individual with proven skills in leadership, organization, innovation, and personal communication to foster research collaborations within BME, the Lerner Research Institute, and the Cleveland Clinic Health System. The candidate will enjoy collaborative interactions with BME Staff along with faculty affiliated with outstanding research programs in rehabilitation, orthopaedics, neurology, motor control, neurosciences, tissue mechanobiology, and bioinformatics. The biomechanics program at Cleveland Clinic is a traditionally strong program supported by state-of-the-art motion analysis laboratories, advanced robotic testing of musculoskeletal joints, access to a wide array of standard mechanical testing equipment, medical imaging facilities, and computational modeling and simulation of locomotion and tissue mechanics. Exceptional collaboration possibilities with clinical departments and access to very large patient populations within the region provide a unique opportunity for translational investigations.
Historically, there are strong ties between BME and with Cleveland Clinic’s Neurological Institute with many jointly funded programs in Rehabilitation and through the Concussion Center, which is housed in BME. Many BME faculty also hold joint appointments in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and are members of the Orthopaedic and Rheumatologic Research Center. The department supports graduate research opportunities through Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland State University, Kent State University, the University of Akron, The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, and the Molecular Medicine Ph.D. Program, which is supported by a Howard Hughes Medical Institute "Med into Grad" award.
The most attractive candidate will hold a doctorate in movement biomechanics, kinesiology, or biomedical/ mechanical engineering and have a solid publication record in high-quality peer-reviewed journals.
The individual would be expected to establish and maintain an independent research program and to mentor junior faculty. Exceptionally qualified candidates will be considered for Associate/Full Professor positions.
Applicants should submit:
