The Cleveland Clinic Department of
Quantitative Health Sciences has a faculty opening, at the Cleveland Ohio Main Campus, for an early to mid-career
biostatistician with interest in a long-term commitment to lead biostatical collaborations with Cleveland Clinic’s Lou Ruvo Center
for Brain Health (LRCBH). The center is dedicated to the care of patients with memory loss, dementia and other
cognitive/behavioral disorders of aging, the pursuit of a better understanding of the underlying pathobiology of these disorders, and the
development of more effective treatments. The center is located on the main campus of the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. The LRCBH is
home to the NIA sponsored Cleveland Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (CADRC) and has a Research Center of Excellence designation by
the Lewy Body Dementia Association. The research budget at the center is over 25 million dollars.
The primary need for the next
five-eight years is for the statistical expert to be able to leverage multiplex analyte platforms, proteomic data, and MRI/PET imaging along
with clinical variables to help develop data driven disease progression models and risk assessment. The successful candidate will lead
biostatistical design and analysis for observational studies and clinical trials. Additional expertise in one or more of the following areas
would be desirable: novel clinical trial design, developing computational pipelines for high-dimensional data analysis, modelling
multidimensional datasets, machine learning, omics analyses, longitudinal modeling, structural equations modeling, use of electronic medical
record data, and adaptive network analysis. Currently the center employs one Master’s degree Biostatistician whom the new hire will
oversee and mentor. LRCBH investigators seek expertise from a PhD-level scientist for addressing complex research questions in
neurodegenerative disease research, database management and study design.This is a hard-money position with no explicit requirements
to obtain salary support. The position is 70% collaboration and 30% protected time for independent research.
The position includes an appointment to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University at rank
commensurate with experience. Candidates should enjoy collaborating on and bringing creative analytic approaches to complex problems in
neurodegenerative disease research and have a strong desire to publish journal articles. Excellent English written and oral communication
skills are essential.
Requirements
- PhD in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, or a related
discipline. - Experience with design and analysis methods for clinical trials and observational studies.
- Experience as a
collaborative biostatistician in a clinical setting. - Ability and desire to lead a team of MS-level biostatisticians.
Interested candidates should email a curriculum vitae, research statement, names of at least three references and a cover letter
summarizing experience, research interests, and fit for the position to [email protected]Review of applications will begin April 2024 and continue until the position is
filled.
The Department of
Quantitative Health Sciences has 28 faculty and over 130 members. Areas of disciplinary research application include
biostatistical methods, clinical trials, population health, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, statistical computing, predictive
modeling, and computational biology. For more career information see the Quantitative Health Sciences Career
site.
