About us:
Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) is among the nation's leading private research institutions. Founded in 1826, CWRU is distinguished by its strengths in education, research, service, and experiential learning. CWRU School of Medicine (SOM) is ranked nationwide in the top 25 research medical schools and in the top 20 for research funding from the National Institutes of Health. The SOM's research program began in 1887 and since then, faculty and alumni have accomplished major achievements in the medical field. Among its former and current faculty and alumni are eight Nobel laureates, six members of the Institute of Medicine, two members of the National Academy of Sciences, two U.S. Surgeon Generals and the first woman director of the Center for Disease Control. One of the primary goals of the SOM is to conduct cutting-edge biomedical research that leads to improvement in clinical care and the development of new knowledge in the biomedical sciences. The SOM has over 850 medical students, 1,000 graduate students and over 1,500 full time faculty populating 30 clinical and basic science departments.

The CWRU SOM is affiliated with some of the best hospitals in the United States, such as University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC), Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF), The Metro Health System (MHS) and Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Through these partnerships, cutting-edge technologies, research facilities and collaborative opportunities are accessible to our research team. The successful candidate will have chances to work with researchers in the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCCC), Cleveland Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (CADRC), Case Western Reserve University for AIDS Research (Case CFAR), and The Cleveland Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Center.  

Program Description:

The research goal of our team is to utilize data-driven approach and quantitative methods to translate the large medical data from benchwork to knowledge in precision medicine. We aim to integrate state-of-art biotechnologies with various types of data science to make biomedical discoveries. The successful candidate will be actively engaged in statistical methodology development and/or applied collaborative research in biostatistics and quantitative health. The specific research focus can be tailored to the applicant according to their research interests.
