Duties and responsibilities are assigned in accordance with the workload guidelines laid out in the pattern of administration of each faculty member’s tenure initiation unit (TIU) and, as appropriate, regional campus; obligations will include research, service and/or teaching or clinical practice. These faculty will have earned doctorate or other terminal degree in the relevant field of study or possession of equivalent experience.Successful applicants will join a growing and dynamic research environment dedicated to translating innovative laboratory discoveries in basic mechanisms to human studies and clinical trials with a long-term goal to improve patients’ lives. We have an emerging program on ischemic spinal cord injury following TAAA surgery to repair an aneurysm (*targeting open* *surgical repair versus TEVAR’*), postsurgical delirium, neuromodulation and neuroprotection and perioperative pain management. One of our Tenured Professors is part of a recently funded NIH Blueprint Medtech Award in 2025 in collaboration with CoolSpine LLC (sponsored by NINDS & National Institute of biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering) through a U54 grant mechanism. He will work with his collaborators on an innovative project titled *"Intrathecal Cooling Catheter to Provide Neuroprotection to Avoid Paraplegia Resulting from Open and Endovascular Thoracic Aneurysm Repair"* (). We recently hosted the first international NIH R13 sponsored conference on strategies to combat ‘paraplegia after ischemic spinal cord injury in patients undergoing TAAA surgery. We also hosted an international conference sponsored by NIH to develop consensus guidelines for preventing opioid induced respiratory depression (OIRD).Our Pain Center is investigating lower back pain mechanisms and neuromodulation therapies in collaboration with the *Spine Institute.* NIH funded studies are evaluating spine treatment strategies for chronic low back pain, by targeting innovative strategies, including ‘biomarkers’, identification of low back pain patient phenotypes to optimize treatment outcomes, combining physical therapy with mindfulness for treatment, and developing a wearable sensor for enabling functional assessment of chronic lower back pain. Other areas of investigation seeking extramural funding for pain research, include ‘acute post-cesarian pain’, and an R34 study on opioid use disorder after surgery (OID), industry funded clinical trials or investigator-initiated studies on SCS-Neuromodulation therapy, and development of computational methods/models to better assess pain.We pride ourselves in supporting our clinical trainees through FAER, MDSR and WSFA that includes medical students, residents, fellows and postdocs. The Department of Anesthesiology is innovating in both basic science and ‘patient-oriented research.’ On the clinical front, we have a robust clinical research infrastructure and are supporting more than 50 active trials, including multicenter industry funded clinical trials, investigator- initiated studies and trials, including trials on postoperative ileus, postoperative nausea and vomiting, spinal cord stimulation, as well as NIH funded translational studies and studies to test clinical monitoring devices. We are looking to expand these efforts. We have implemented a new Perioperative Outcomes Research Collaborative in Anesthesiology (PORCA), focused on harnessing the power of “large database analysis” to complement our efforts on original ‘research Hub’ organized by senior Anesthesia faculty meets regularly and supports over 40 trainees and faculty in scholarly and research activities. We have close collaborations with the Biostatistics Core, Bioinformatics and the Clinical Trial Monitoring Organization (CTMO) in the College of Medicine to meet all our statistical needs, regulatory support, compliance on human subject research, and aid in our budgets and clinical staff recruitment efforts. Potential opportunities also exist for collaborations with the Neurological Institute, Behavioral Institute, Neuroscience Department, Psychiatry and Addiction Center, Neurosurgery, Sarah Ross Soter Women’s Health Research Program, Pathology, Gastroenterology and Bioengineering. Topics of discussion at our upcoming Department research retreat include our strategic research plan and vision for the future, research opportunities for trainees, infrastructure and resources to support our research. Team-Science involving PhD and MD investigators is highly valued and encouraged. The CATALYST program (Center for the Advancement of Team Science, Analytics and Systems Thinking in Health Services and Implementation Science Research) provides a peer group of scholars with a range of interests in health services research and implementation science, mentorship by senior investigators, and training through seminars, didactics, leadership development activities and mentored development of grant applications. Team science and collaborations across our disciplines and departments and our collective efforts have led to significant milestones that advance excellence in education, research and patient care at the Wexner Medical Center (including our department). Research funding at the College of Medicine reached a new record of $477.3 million in 2025.* Ph.D. and/or M.D degree, post-doctoral training, a commitment to basic, translational and/or clinical research and a history of strong research productivity in strategic target areas of investigation.* The position(s) are for NIH (or equivalent) funded investigators, although a significant funding record from other sources will be considered.* We highly value Team-Science and individuals who seek opportunities to develop strong extramurally funded collaborations and innovative programs with physicians and basic scientists in and outside the department with existing programs and participate in training grants and program project grants in the future.* Individuals with innovative applications of Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, bioinformatics and computational models in perioperative medicine in targeted areas with an NIH or equivalent funding record are also encouraged to apply.* Mindset and track record reflecting adherence to standards of professional ethical conduct* In aggregate, accomplishments should be sufficiently compelling that the appointee is judged to have significant potential to attain tenure and a distinguished record as a faculty member in the department.* Faculty interested in a tenure track faculty position are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to qualified individuals pursuing a tenure-track faculty position as Assistant Professors if they are highly productive scientists with notable publications in impact journals, who have demonstrated potential to succeed on the
