Why join the faculty at Cincinnati Children's?

We are an internationally renowned medical research and teaching hospital with a wide reach.

Jessica Kahn, MD, MPH, Associate Chair, Academic Affairs & Career Development: “I’m surrounded every day by a talented and diverse and inclusive community of faculty who are united in their passion for improving the health of children and adolescents both in our community, in the nation and around the world.”

Here, you'll find world-class clinical programs and cutting-edge research. We have innovative community and population health initiatives and international partnerships.

Steve Muething, MD, Co-Director, Anderson Center: “One of the huge benefits of Cincinnati Children’s is we don’t think small. We think in big goals. When somebody comes and says they want to make Cincinnati the healthiest place for kids to grow up, this place doesn’t say, ‘Well, well, wait a minute. What are we going to do for the kids that come here?’ No, this place says, ‘OK, how would we do that?’

Eric Crotty, MD, Pediatric Radiologist: “What I love about the institution is that it’s always focused on doing better.”

Andrew Beck, MD, Pediatrician: “The breadth of this place really provides the resources necessary, the opportunities necessary to make a mark and ideally make that mark in ways that truly affect the lives of children and families in the best possible ways.”

We're committed to training the next generation of pediatric clinicians and researchers.

Jae Kim, MD, PhD, Director, Division of Neonatology: “Cincinnati Children’s has a very strong and very visible commitment to leadership and to mission. It’s one of the very few institutions that really walk their talk.”

We have outstanding training programs. We're consistently ranked as one of the nation's top three pediatric hospitals. And our Department of Pediatrics is among the top three in funding from the National Institutes of Health.

Amy Nathan, MD, Medical Director, Perinatal Institute: “Cincinnati Children’s has a unique combination of being a world leader in clinical care, as well as the other pillars of education and research. So, in terms of a place to start an academic career for a young faculty member, I really can’t think of a better place.”

We have more than 50 divisions and centers with 1,000 faculty members from around the world. We fulfill missions in education, clinical care and community health. Our research reaches from bench to bedside and focuses on improving outcomes.

Tina Cheng, MD, MPH, BK Rachford Professor & Chair of Pediatrics: "I think what makes Cincinnati Children's very special is that it's focused on children, but it also provides a platform and a supportive environment to really innovate and think of new discoveries to improve child health."

Nana-Hawa Yayah Jones, MD, Pediatric Endocrinologist: “I’m also very interested in research, especially quality improvement. So, there’s nowhere else but Cincinnati Children’s hospital that has The Anderson Center that’s able to provide us the education about quality improvement methodology and how to really improve the outcomes of different diseases in different types of children.”

We are affiliated with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Our faculty members have easy access to colleagues with diverse backgrounds and expertise.

Leah Kottyan, PhD, Researcher, Center for Autoimmune Genomics & Etiology: “The people are actually the most exciting part about my work. The faculty, the staff, the trainees, they come together to find ways to collaborate around diseases that affect children and adults.”

Our institution has a longstanding history of valuing our faculty. We support you with research cores, internal funding mechanisms and a variety of professional development opportunities.

We also recruit talented and diverse faculty. We want to ensure your academic success and productivity. And we promote a culture of excellence, professionalism, mutual respect and inclusiveness.

Hector Wong, MD, Director, Division of Critical Care Medicine: “It’s a great place. I’ve stayed for 25 years for a good reason. There’s really nowhere else where I’d rather do what I do. I think this is one of the few children's hospitals that really values the academic mission.”

At Cincinnati Children's, we'll support you in finding balance and a good quality of life.

Javier Gonzalez del Rey, MD, MEd, Associate Chair for Education: “As you can tell by my accent, I’m not originally from the United States. But one of the things that really hooked me to come to Cincinnati Children’s was Midwest. People in the Midwest are very cordial, very friendly, very welcoming.”

We are a river city and a bustling hub, close to other Midwest cities such as Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville. We have a growing biomedical industry and have Fortune 500 giants such as Kroger, P&G and GE Aviation headquartered here.
