    Description

    Position Summary

    A full-time respiratory therapist is sought to join our expanding intensive care unit (ICU) research group. We perform single- and multi-center clinical trials and clinical-translational cohort studies involving patients with acute respiratory failure and critical illness more broadly. The overarching goal of our research is to develop and validate novel therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes in patients with critical illness, with a particular focus on individually tailored treatment for patients with respiratory failure. The respiratory therapist will help manage multiple studies, including prospective clinical trials, observational cohort studies, and retrospective cohort studies for patients in the ICUs at New York Presbyterian's Columbia University Medical Center and Allen Hospital. The respiratory therapist must be comfortable working with critically ill adult patients on life support, the population of interest for most studies, and interacting with their families.

  • Provide clinical trial in-service, education, and other training to multidisciplinary clinical staff.
