The overarching goal of Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Microbiome & Human Health is to elucidate the role of microbiota in human health and disease, and then exploit this knowledge to develop microbiome-focused therapeutic strategies. No FDA approved drugs for microbiome –targeted therapies have yet been approved, and our goal is to be a leader in helping to create this paradigm. We are seeking highly qualified investigators who are interested in solving longstanding and challenging problems in this field. We are excited to add members to our thriving community who are interested in the “Nnext gGeneration” of functional microbiome studies. We seek microbiologists, biochemists, chemists, chemical biologists, bioinformaticians, ecologists, immunologists, and physician-scientists who are interested in developing programs in a wide range of areas including but not limited to: testing microbes and microbial products in human studies; uncovering functional molecules from the vast as yet unknown members of the proteome and metabolome that shape immune responses, cancer and repair, and other (patho)physiological processes; determining the formation and maintenance of symbiotic microbial communities; determining functional components of the virome (including bacteriophages) and mycobiome that alter physiology and disease states.
Individuals will receive faculty appointments at the appropriate level (Assistant, Associate, or Full) in the Lerner Research Institute and for practicing physicians, other clinical institutes, as appropriate. New recruits will join a highly collaborative environment with outstanding opportunities for interactions with basic and translational investigators, as well as with clinicians from multiple specialties. Outstanding facilities, generous start-up funds, and ongoing operational support will be provided. We have world class core facilities with the opportunity to grow them through the substantial expansion of the Lerner Research Institute and formation of the Global Center for Pathogen & Human Health Research.
