The Center for Pulmonary Imaging Research (CPIR) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) is soliciting applications for a staff position at the level of Research Assistant II or III, depending on qualifications. CCHMC is currently ranked #2 in the U.S. in Pulmonary Medicine and #3 overall in Pediatric Medicine by the U.S. News and World Report. The CPIR is a multidisciplinary center affiliated with the Radiology, Neonatology, and Pulmonary Medicine and focuses on hyperpolarized gas and proton NMR and MRI of the respiratory system. Our overall goal is to understand pulmonary structure and function in children and adults with a wide range of chronic respiratory disorders, including cystic fibrosis, asthma, rare-lung diseases and lung-transplantation rejection. Team members have backgrounds range from physics and chemistry, to engineering, to medicine and biology. CPIR researchers collaborate to perform cutting-edge research in animal models and humans subjects of all ages.
