MCW | Vice Chair for Research and Scholarship- Emergency Medicine

Position Highlights:

The Department of Emergency Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) seeks a visionary and highly motivated researcher to join the Department as an Associate or Full Professor for the position of Vice Chair for Research and Scholarship.

• The Vice Chair will report directly to the System Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine and be responsible for the development and implementation of strategic plans for the research mission of the department in conjunction with Department Chair – with a focus on increasing extramural funding and the number and quality of departmental peer-reviewed publications and presentations. 
• The research mission is further supported by five directors reporting to the Vice Chair for Research and Scholarship:  1) Director of Research Operations; 2) Director of Research Education and Training; 3) Director of the Resuscitation Research Center (RRC); 4) Director of the Center for Substance Use Research and Intervention (SURI); and 5) Director of the Emergency Medicine (EM) Clinical Trials Unit (CTU).  
• In addition, the research mission is supported by a well-rounded team of research staff, including scientists, project coordinators, and clinical trial enrollers.  
• The major criteria for appointment to this position shall be demonstrated excellence in independent, extramurally-funded, investigative research – coupled with demonstrated collaborative leadership.
• Across eight clinical practice sites, our faculty, fellows, residents, and advanced practice providers (APPs) care for more than 200,000 patient visits across seven practice locations each year. 
• Our department is home to a competitive training program of 36 (and expanding to 42) residents, which attracts top-notch house staff from medical schools across the nation.
• Additionally, the department administers several subspecialty fellowship programs in areas such as research, medical toxicology, critical care medicine, EMS, simulation, administration and operations, and medical education, among others.
• Many of our faculty members, fellows, residents, APPs, and staff in the department are engaged in a host of extramurally funded, cutting-edge, investigative research.  Inquiry in the areas of cardiac arrest and resuscitation, substance use disorders, injury, EMS, and health equity, among others, have garnered MCW a reputation as a research force in the specialty of emergency medicine. 
• As evidence of the department’s increased impact in discovery, this past academic year, we achieved highest-ever levels of extramural grant submissions, peer-reviewed publications, and international, national, and regional presentations. 
• Building on this success, the next Vice Chair for Research and Scholarship will be charged with devising and implementing creative strategies to both increase departmental extramural funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as well as further diversifying its overall funding portfolio.
