Exercise Physiologist

We are seeking an experienced Exercise Physiologist to join our multidisciplinary team as part of Weill Cornell Medicine's Longevity Medicine program. The role includes comprehensive physical-performance assessments and individualized, evidence-based exercise prescriptions tailored to each patient's medical history, functional capacity, experience, and goals. Patients in the program range from older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions who are beginning structured exercise to experienced athletes seeking performance optimization and injury prevention. Candidates should be comfortable working across this spectrum. The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of physiology and anatomy, excellent patient-communication skills, and the ability to collaborate with physicians, registered dietitians, nurses, medical assistants, and specialists across Weill Cornell Medicine. We prioritize candidates who want to actively shape and continuously improve the program - not simply carry out established processes to better support patients and advance the quality of care. As one of only two U.S. academic medical centers with an applied longevity medicine program, Weill Cornell Medicine is helping to advance this emerging field and develop effective approaches for integrating exercise physiology into patient care. In our opinion, this is a rare opportunity to apply the breadth of graduate training in exercise physiology within a prestigious academic medical center, collaborate with world-renowned clinical and scientific experts, and help define an emerging field with the potential to improve health, function, and performance at both the individual and population levels. Role Responsibilities Conduct comprehensive physical performance assessments, including VO₂ max testing, strength assessments, and mobility/balance assessments when indicated. Develop, implement, and manage personalized exercise programs based on patient goals, medical history, and performance data. Monitor patient progress and modify exercise plans to optimize outcomes and safety. Educate patients on exercise technique, physiology, and healthy lifestyle strategies. Help patients overcome barriers to exercise such as time constraints, injury history, or lack of prior training. Collaborate with physicians and other healthcare professionals to ensure exercise programs align with overall medical care. Stay current with research and best practices in exercise physiology and preventive health. Qualifications Master's degree in Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology, or a related field. Certification as an Clinical Exercise Physiologist (CEP) or Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). Strong knowledge of human physiology principles (biochemical pathways related to metabolism/performance) and anatomy Experience conducting physical performance (i.e. VO2max) assessments, developing exercise prescriptions, and interpretating CPET data (ventilatory thresholds, FATmax, etc). Proficiency with medical terminology, electronic health records software, and multi-tasking across different software applications. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a clinical team. Commitment to delivering exceptional patient care, promoting healthy lifestyle habits, and keeping up-to-date with latest evidence. Part-time role initially. Ideally hiring two exercise physiologists able to work 1-2 days per week, beginning August 2026. If permitted by your current employer, we are open to coordinating with them to buy out a portion of your time. The program will begin with 1-2 clinic days per week, with the potential to expand to 4-5 days per week as it grows. Most ideally, you have ongoing availability on the following days Thursdays (1st priority) Wednesdays (2nd priority) Mondays (3rd priority) Schedule may include one of both of following clinic sessions: #J-18808-Ljbffr Weill Cornell Medicine
