Ohio University is located in Athens, OH, a historic college town with a modest cost of living in southeastern Ohio in the foothills of the Appalachian mountain range. It was founded in 1804, making it the oldest university in the Northwest Territory and ninth oldest public university in the United States. The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine was founded in 1975, and our medical school educates physicians committed to practice in Ohio, emphasizes primary care, engages in focused research, and embraces both Appalachian and urban communities.
Job Description: Ohio University is a university committed to excellence in teaching, research and public service, with a rapidly growing health sciences research community. Candidates will be based at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Athens campus. The Heritage College has recently expanded within the state by developing extension campuses in Dublin and Cleveland and by partnering with prominent academic health organizations. During this time of unprecedented growth, based in part on a recent $105 million transformational gift from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations and a significant increase in federal funding, the primary care departments, in collaboration with the Diabetes Institute (www.ohio.edu/diabetes), seek to recruit up to five tenure-track faculty members to expand their primary care, health outcomes and diabetes research programs.
Ideal candidates will have advanced training in behavioral health, nutrition, epidemiology, health communications, public health or analytics. Applicants interested in maternal, infant, and child health; diabetes and obesity; population health and health policy, quality improvement in medical practices; practice-based research networks; and medical education research, as evidenced by peer-reviewed scholarly works, are encouraged to apply. We are targeting at least two hires to specifically focus on diabetes- and/or obesity-related research. If hired, applicants will have access to a growing research infrastructure and a multitude of collaborators within Ohio University.
Primary Care Research has strong institutional support with the goal of improving overall health of rural and urban underserved communities. The mission is to provide a collaborative environment where faculty, students, residents and community members can:
- Work together in translating science into practice of medicine
- Evaluate innovations to provide the best healthcare to patients
- Understand how to better organize healthcare to meet patient and population needs
- Engage patients, communities, and practices to improve overall health
The primary responsibilities will be to maintain an externally-funded research program that complements a team-based approach to science and to participate in collaborative, multidisciplinary research projects in partnership with other units at Heritage College, Ohio University, and with our national and international partners. The successful candidates will also be expected to deliver lectures on selected topics and/or facilitate small groups and to demonstrate service to the profession, university, college or department.
Minimum Qualifications: Candidates are required to have completed a DO, MD, PhD, or EdD.
Minimum qualifications include a track record of scholarship or evidence of a clear plan for developing independent and/or collaborative research funding. For physician investigator candidates, practice opportunities are available—board certification is required.
Preferred Qualifications: Postdoctoral training or mentored research training beyond terminal degree is preferred.
The salary for this appointment covers 9 months of effort spread over a 12-month period. Academic base salary may be supplemented with additional grant support as allowed by granting agency. Additionally, Ohio University offers an excellent benefits and start-up package.
