• Help define how AI is responsibly used in medicine

• Your work reaches patients
• Your contributions are visible, published, and durable
• You help shape the future of AI in healthcare
• Potential academic appointment (Assistant → Full Professor)
• Salary negotiable according to experience
• If you want your AI work to mean something—to patients, to science, and to society-we’d love to talk.

The Urology department is one of the largest in the world and recognized for excellence in patient care, teaching, and research.

Cleveland Clinic has been delivering innovative health care since 1921. In over 100 years we have done some remarkable things. From performing the world’s first coronary artery bypass in the 1950s to assisting in America’s first facial transplant a few short years ago, we are proud that our remarkable care has always been reflected by monumental firsts. For your career, this means more opportunities to grow and work with colleagues that consistently push beyond boundaries to achieve better outcomes for all patients around the globe.
