Thein the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) invites applications for tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor levels. The positions will be supported by substantial start-up packages, highly competitive salaries, office/research space, and access to exceptional core facilities.

The Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences is a highly interdisciplinary unit with 34 faculty members who influence the fields of human genetics and genomics, model systems (including invertebrate, mouse, and human induced pluripotent stem cells), translational genomics, cancer genetics/genomics, systems biology research, chemical biology and therapeutics, developmental genetics, and clinical genetics. The Department includes the Center for Human Genetics, which encompasses all medical genetics activities at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, and the Seidman Cancer Center, providing a unique bridge for translational studies. State-of-the-art research laboratories with access to core facilities in genomic sequencing, transcriptomics, pluripotent stem cell production, imaging, engineered mouse models, bioinformatics, high throughput chemical/drug screening and animal services significantly enhance research and training within the department. The Department has active PhD and genetic counseling (MS) graduate programs and medical genetics residency programs.

CWRU is located in Cleveland Ohio, a central Midwestern hub for art, culture, and sports that boasts a low cost of living and outstanding schools. The CWRU School of Medicine is the academic partner of 4 nationally and internationally renowned medical centers: University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center and Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. CWRU values interdisciplinary thinking, creative collaboration and entrepreneurial ideas. It also believes strongly in the importance of diversity within its faculty, staff, and students.
