The Division of Human Genetics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is recruiting a Research Faculty member at the Assistant or Associate Professor level on the tenure track, with an expected effort of 90% research and 10% administrative service.

The successful candidate will be dedicated to advancing precision medicine and targeted genetic therapies for rare diseases within the rapidly evolving field of interventional genetics. The candidate will contribute to the expansion of the division’s rare disease research programs, with particular strengths in lysosomal storage diseases, rasopathies, and skeletal dysplasias, and growing emphasis on neurodevelopmental disorders. The position offers extensive collaborative opportunities with the Applied Gene and Cell Therapy Center, the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network, and multidisciplinary rare disease research programs and clinics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, as well as participation in national initiatives such as the Undiagnosed Diseases Network and the National Organization for Rare Disorders.

The Division of Human Genetics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center provides comprehensive genetic evaluation, counseling, testing, and medical management for patients of all ages with a broad range of genetic conditions, including cleft lip and palate, hereditary cancer syndromes, and metabolic disorders. Research in the division spans basic discovery through translation of new diagnoses and therapies into clinical care, with a shared mission to improve the health of children and families.
