Division of Developmental Biology

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center

The Division of Developmental Biology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) invites applications for tenure-track positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in all areas of developmental biology. The Division is an interdisciplinary and interactive research community of over 20 faculty with more than $14M of annual grant awards. Research in the Division aims to discover the fundamental mechanisms of cell differentiation and organogenesis, elucidate the developmental genetic basis of human birth defects, and investigate stem cell biology for regenerative medicine. Being embedded in one of the top pediatric research hospitals in the world enables unique opportunities to study congenital disease and translational research to improve child health. Applicants leveraging quantitative or computational approaches are encouraged to apply and will synergize with emerging institutional initiatives. Faculty have access to subsidized state-of-the-art core facilities, high-quality MS, PhD, and MD/PhD programs, and training programs for postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows, residents, and clinical faculty.

Qualified applicants must have a PhD, MD, MD/PhD or equivalent degree in biomedical sciences. candidates are expected to have completed postdoctoral training with an outstanding publication record and an innovative research plan. Candidates at the rank of Associate Professor should have an established track record of excellence and a sustained, extramurally funded research program.

Applicants should send a CV, 2-page research plan, and contact information for three references to DevelopmentalBiology@cchmc.org by December 1st, 2024.

Cincinnati Children’s Research Foundation:

Cincinnati Children’s is ranked the #1 pediatric medical center in 2023 by US and World Reports. Cincinnati Children’s Research Foundation is home to one of the largest pediatric research programs in the country, with extramural grants and contracts surpassing $240 million and a total operating budget of $565 million. External funding has increased by an astounding 70% in the last decade alone, and as of FY18, Cincinnati Children’s stands as the second largest recipient among children’s hospitals of R01 equivalent grants, fellowship grants, and awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Research Foundation continues to grow and invest in faculty success through internally funded grants, including more than $46 million in new funding opportunities and endowed chairs over the past three years. A deep collaboration among the brightest biomedical science minds and the most talented pediatric clinicians ensures that The Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation continues to be one of the nation's most significant sources of pediatric scientific discovery and innovation worldwide.

The Division on Developmental Biology is a part of the Department of Pediatrics. The Department is divided into 40 divisions, providing a full range of pediatric specialty care and comprehensive education to physicians. These Divisions are more akin in scale and scope to Departments at other medical centers. Throughout the years, divisions have fostered growth and recruitment as well as new collaborations. Work in the Department spans the spectrum of discovery: basic exploration of biological processes, translation of new knowledge to clinical practice, and improvement of community health.

In 2015, Cincinnati Children’s reinforced and expanded its longstanding commitment to pediatric scientific research with the opening of a $205 million, state-of-the-art research tower, which together with 5 other adjoining research buildings amounts to 1.4 million sq ft of research space. A pioneer in biomedical research, leadership has made bold investments to transform discovery into therapies. In 2017, the Center for Stem Cell and Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM) was launched to catalyze the potential of organoid stem cell technologies, a system that holds great potential to revolutionize personalized and regenerative medicine in the 21st century. These investments, expansions and renovation projects underscore a remarkable legacy as well as a mission to be a leader in improving child health nationally and internationally.

Cincinnati is one of America’s most vibrant and beautiful river cities. Located on the north bank of the Ohio River, metropolitan Cincinnati includes Northern Kentucky and the southeast corner of Indiana. Over two million people make their home in the tri-state hub of southwestern Ohio.
