Physician Otolaryngology, Otologist/Neurotologist (Open Rank/ Track Faculty)

The Division of Otology, Neurotology, and Cranial Base Surgery within the Department of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery is seeking a highly qualified otologist or neurotologist to join our academic clinical practice. We are recruiting a collaborative academic clinician with advanced fellowship training in otology and neurotology who is committed to delivering outstanding patient care and contributing to the department's educational and clinical missions. The successful candidate will join a collegial, multidisciplinary environment with strong clinical infrastructure and opportunities to help further develop comprehensive ear and hearing care services across adult and pediatric populations.

The Otologist/Neurotologist will provide comprehensive evaluation and management of patients with a broad range of otologic and neurotologic conditions. Clinical responsibilities include the care of patients with hearing loss, chronic ear disease, cholesteatoma, otologic infections, vestibular disorders, otologic trauma, and implantable hearing technologies.

The role includes a major focus on cochlear implantation, osseointegrated hearing solutions, and contemporary management of vestibular disorders. The physician will participate in both outpatient and surgical care and contribute to the continued growth and regional reach of the department's ear and hearing programs. While experience with skull base pathology is welcomed, the primary clinical emphasis of the position is comprehensive otologic and neurotologic care rather than a dedicated lateral skull base practice.

The successful candidate will actively participate in the department's educational mission by teaching and mentoring residents, fellows, and medical students in both clinical and operative settings. Faculty are expected to contribute to curriculum development, skills training, and scholarly educational activities that support trainee development and program excellence. Participation in departmental committees, quality improvement initiatives, multidisciplinary care pathways, and professional society engagement is encouraged.

The Otologist/Neurotologist will work closely with colleagues in audiology, vestibular therapy, neurology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, and primary care to provide coordinated, patient-centered care. The position offers opportunities to help shape programmatic growth in cochlear implantation, hearing restoration, and vestibular care within a large academic health system serving a diverse regional population.

Required qualifications include a Doctor of Medicine (MD), completion of an ACGME-accredited Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery residency, completion of fellowship training in otology or neurotology, demonstrated commitment to clinical excellence and education, eligibility for medical licensure in the State of Ohio, and academic rank and compensation commensurate with experience.

Preferred qualifications include experience in cochlear implantation and implantable hearing technologies, interest in vestibular disorders and multidisciplinary ear care, prior teaching experience or demonstrated engagement in trainee education, and ability to contribute to program development and clinical innovation.
