Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine (SOM) announces its search for the Chair of the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences.
The Dean and faculty consider this an exceptional opportunity to lead a preeminent department within the SOM and associated with our four affiliated health systems (Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth, University Hospitals, and the Cleveland VA Medical Center) along with close collaboration with the other schools and colleges at CWRU and the broader Cleveland community.
CWRU SOM is seeking a visionary, dynamic and creative department chair, with a distinguished record of scientific and educational achievements, who can expand and lead a forward-looking multi-disciplinary Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences and its CWRU SOM faculty with expertise in computational data sets of human health risks, epidemiological health assessments, large scale genomics, EHR data sets, patient and population interventional sciences, biostatistics, artificial intelligence analytics, and the integration of large data sets with clinical decision making.
The Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences is a large department comprising 34 primary faculty with an active research portfolio of over $18 M, that ranges from large population disease databases, to DNA sequencing and to community and population-based public health. Faculty represent a broad range of fields including bioinformatics, biostatistics, epidemiology, health services research, genetic epidemiology, community psychology, anthropology, community health, public health, and population health. The department offers masters and PhD training programs related to public health. The department oversees >200 trainees in four MS and three PhD programs in quantitative and population sciences, including a Masters of Public Health. Faculty actively participates in medical student education. The department maintains a robust external research portfolio from NIH, CDC, PCORI, foundation, and philanthropic sources.
