Center for Stem Cell and Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM) Faculty in Pediatric Endocrinology

The new Center for Stem Cell & Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) and the Division of Endocrinology are launching a major new initiative to recruit outstanding tenure-track faculty at the Assistant to Associate Professor level.

CuSTOM  (www.cincinnatichildrens.org/custom ) is a multi-disciplinary center of excellence integrating developmental and stem cell biologists, clinicians, bioengineers and entrepreneurs with the common goal of accelerating discovery and facilitating bench-to-bedside translation of organoid technology and regenerative medicine. Faculty in CuSTOM benefit from the unique environment and resources here to accelerate their studies of human development, disease and regenerative medicine using pluripotent stem cell and organoid platforms.

The Pediatric Endocrinology Division, ranked Number 5 in U.S. News & World Report's 2019-20 edition, offers a full range of modern diagnostic techniques (many hormonal assays are run in our institution) and uses a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose, treat and manage the care of children and adolescents with a variety of conditions. As a division also nationally recognized for research, we provide our physicians with a tremendous amount of support and mentorship to ensure professional growth and enable them to effectively treat children in their care. Therefore, we encourage clinicians with a specific research focus or interested in establishing an area of clinical specialty to join our growing team. The division currently employs 17 clinical and research MD and/or PhD faculty, further supported by a large diabetes group of nurse practitioners, nutritionists, social workers and diabetes educators. The division has 10 fellows in training and takes on 3 new fellows per year through an ACGME-approved fellowship program

CCHMC is a leader in organoid biology and one of the top ranked pediatric research centers in the world, providing a unique environment for basic and translational research. Among pediatric institutions CCHMC is the third-highest ranking recipient of research grants from the National Institutes of Health. CCHMC continues to make major investments in research supporting discovery with 1.4 million square feet of research space and subsidized state-of-the-art core facilities including a human pluripotent stem cell facility, CRISPR genome editing, high-throughput DNA analysis, biomedical informatics, a Nikon Center of Excellence imaging core and much more. 

We invite applications from innovative and collaborative investigators focused on basic or translational research in human development and/or disease using stem cells or organoid models. A focus on endocrinology would synergize with existing institutional strength. Successful candidates must hold the MD, or MD/PhD degrees, and will have a vibrant research program with an outstanding publication record.

Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae, two to three page research statement focused on future plans, and contact information for three people who will provide letters of recommendation to Alisha.Schweitzer@cchmc.org.  Applications must be submitted by December 1, 2019.

The Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and the University of Cincinnati are Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employers. Qualified women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply.
