This is a full-time academic position offering a faculty appointment through the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine (CCLCM/CWRU SOM). The successful candidate will join a collegial group of adult reconstruction specialists engaged in high-volume clinical care, multi-center prospective research, and the teaching of orthopaedic residents and fellows in one of the country's most established training programs.
