The Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) invites applications for a research faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. We seek an outstanding investigator who will establish and lead an innovative, independent research program broadly relevant to diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, or related areas of biomedical science. Appointments may be made on either the tenure-track or non-tenure-track, depending on the candidate’s qualifications, experience, and career trajectory. 

The successful candidate will join a collaborative, multidisciplinary team of faculty committed to advancing scientific discovery and improving the health of children and adolescents with endocrine disorders. We welcome investigators with expertise spanning basic, translational, and clinical research, including those whose work bridges fundamental biological mechanisms and clinical applications in the areas of diabetes and endocrinology.

Our Division offers a strong environment for developing an independent research program, with opportunities for collaboration across clinical and basic science disciplines, access to a large and diverse patient population, established research programs, and institutional research infrastructure. Candidates will have opportunities to collaborate with investigators across Cincinnati Children’s, the University of Cincinnati, and other national and international research institutions.

For physician-scientists, opportunities are available to integrate research with clinical responsibilities, including outpatient care and inpatient service, based on the candidate’s interests and programmatic needs.
