Details:
Department of Quantitative Health Sciences is seeking a faculty Epidemiologist to lead collaborations with the Cleveland Clinic Integrated Hospital Institute, Department of Pulmonary Medicine to grow our emphasis in environmental epidemiology across the field of respiratory health. The ideal candidate will serve as a primary resource for existing research within the Cleveland Clinic System, while also engaging as an independent researcher to advance partnerships and collaborations with greater Northeast Ohio and improve the health of our community.
A doctoral degree is required. The position includes a non-tenured appointment to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University at rank commensurate with experience.
The ideal candidate would have a track record in environmental epidemiology research, with a skillset in modeling and exposure estimation of ambient or indoor air pollution, and a rigorous grounding in spatial epidemiology techniques.

Interested candidates should email a curriculum vitae, the names of at least three references and a letter summarizing experience, research interests, and fit for the position to QHSjobsearchpm@ccf.org.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
