Job Title:

Assistant Research Professor - Neurology

This role is for a research assistant professor training in health services research and an interest in neurology. A Research Assistant Professor will work closely with neurologists in the Department of Neurology and investigators in the Division of Neurology Health Services Research to contribute to and develop a mentored, collaborative research program in neurology health services research.

Candidates with a range of research training, interests, and methodological expertise will be considered. The essential criterion is that the candidate’s background and skills enable meaningful and complementary contributions to ongoing and emerging neurology health services research initiatives. This role is well-suited for early-career investigators seeking to build a sustained research trajectory within a collaborative academic environment.

The Department of Neurology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) consists of 15 specialized divisions, 63 physicians, 5 psychologists, 12 dedicated research faculty, 24 residents, and 14 fellows. We offer extensive neurology care, with multiple clinics and facilities, a teleneurology service, and a large telestroke network. Our research portfolio includes over $15.5 million in annual funding, a neurogenetics and neuroimmunology focus, and a growing Center for Neurology Health Services Research.

We conduct numerous clinical trials and offer several clinical fellowships and international training opportunities. Our residency program was ranked in the top 15th percentile nationwide on the Doximity Residency Navigator list in 2024.

The Research Assistant Professor will contribute to and advance a cohesive neurology health services research agenda in collaboration with faculty mentors and interdisciplinary partners within the Department of Neurology, the Division of Neurology Health Services Research, and the Center for the Advancement of Team Science, Analytics, and Systems Thinking in Health Services and Implementation Science Research (CATALYST). The position will involve participation in the design, execution, and dissemination of research focused on neurology health services, which may include clinical epidemiology of neurological conditions, comparative effectiveness research, pragmatic and implementation-focused interventions to improve neurologic care, evaluation of new models of neurologic service delivery, and the adaptation or extension of existing health services models to neurologic populations.

In addition to leading components of their own developing research portfolio, the successful candidate will function as a collaborative team scientist, contributing methodological expertise to interdisciplinary projects across campus. Responsibilities may include assisting with grant development, study design, data analysis, interpretation of results, and preparation of manuscripts and presentations. The Research Assistant Professor is expected to actively engage in collaborative research activities, build productive working relationships with clinical and research faculty, and contribute to a collegial and intellectually vibrant research environment.

Applicants are expected to have either a PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g., Health Services Research, Epidemiology, Public Health, Public Policy) or an MD with prior research training, preferably through a Master?s Program. Candidates should have a clear trajectory of scholarly productivity and potential for external funding. Applicants should possess methodological training and hands-on experience applying research methods relevant to health services or implementation science and be able to articulate a developing research trajectory with clear plans for continued growth and pursuit of external funding.
