Full Job Posting Here: https://www.ohiouniversityjobs.com/postings/51704
Overview
Ohio University’s College of Health Sciences and Professions (CHSP), in partnership with the Ohio Musculoskeletal & Neurological Institute (OMNI; ohio.edu/medicine/omni), invites outstanding researchers and educators to apply for three open-rank, tenure-track faculty positions in Healthy Aging and Rehabilitation Sciences. OMNI, home to the Center for Healthy Aging and the Center for Injury and Pain Research, is a hub of research excellence, with an active extramural portfolio of ~$30M and a team of 10 investigators ranked among the top 5% of scientists worldwide—six of whom rank in the top 0.5%.
These positions are part of Ohio University’s initiative to advance interdisciplinary research addressing the pressing health challenges of aging, musculoskeletal, and neurological disorders. As new faculty members, you will join a distinguished network of scholars at OMNI, which stands at the forefront of innovations that drive meaningful health improvements for aging populations. Our strategic cluster hire initiative reflects a university-wide commitment to recruiting top-tier investigators who are passionate about transforming health outcomes and elevating knowledge in healthy aging. With robust resources, rich opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration, and a commitment to groundbreaking research, Ohio University offers an ideal environment for visionary scholars dedicated to reshaping the future of aging and rehabilitation sciences.
As an R1 institution, Ohio University fosters a collaborative and intellectually vibrant environment. Located in Athens, Ohio, faculty benefit from access to the Clinical and Translational Research Unit (CTRU; ohio.edu/medicine/research/ctru) and the Neuromuscular Biomechanics and Health Assessment Lab (NMBHAL; research.ohio.edu/nmbhal). The hires will also have access to equipment in the new Heritage Translational Research Center with access to state-of-the-art basic science and clinical research instrumentation. For example, equipment includes a Skyscan high-resolution in vivo micro-CT scanner, an IVIS SpectrumCT 2 imaging system, an Agilent Seahorse XF Pro Analyzer, mechanical testing systems, OPM-magnetoencephalography, MRI, TMS, and various tools for comprehensive behavioral, body composition, metabolic, and exercise assessments, as well as motion capture for both human and animal models.
About the Cluster Hire
We seek passionate and innovative researchers to join OMNI and CHSP’s thriving community dedicated to advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and neurodegenerative disorders. Faculty hired through this cluster initiative will play a central role in OMNI’s mission to enhance physical mobility, prevent disability, and improve health outcomes across the lifespan. This strategic effort aims to strengthen our expertise in diverse and impactful areas, such as: Orthopedic Trauma and Osteoarthritis (OA): Research that advances understanding and treatment of OA and trauma-related injuries, using approaches from cellular models to clinical applications. Neurorehabilitation and Neuromotor Recovery: Developing innovative neurorehabilitation strategies to address age-related changes in brain and motor function. Rehabilitation Engineering and Wearable Technologies: Creating and implementing advanced rehabilitation technologies, including biomechanics and robotics, for improved neuromuscular and musculoskeletal recovery.
