POSITION DESCRIPTION: Clinical Program Manager, Pastoral Care Research at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the Number 2 Pediatric Medical Center in the USA, is recruiting a Clinical Program Manager for our Pastoral Care Research Program.

The preferred applicant will have experience guiding a research program. The purpose of this position is to work with the Sr. Director to guide the Pastoral Care Department in developing research that defines what chaplaincy and bereavement practices help patients and families access their religion/spirituality in ways that contribute to coping and decision-making, and what bereavement practices help families and staff effectively respond to their grief in ways that promote resilience. In addition, our goal is to conduct original research identifying what difference chaplaincy and bereavement interventions make to patients, families, and staff.
