1. Emory Orthopaedics, Sports and Spine Department (Clinical Research Fellowship)
This is an excellent opportunity for an applicant to both strengthen and broaden their research experience while bolstering their CV for medical school or residency.
Applicants can expect a variety of projects ranging from clinical outcomes, economic-cost analysis, biomechanical studies, and some basic/translational research if interested. During this year-long clinical research fellowship, improved skills in IRB writing, study design, grant writing, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and podium/poster presentations should be expected. Research mentors will help oversee the research progress throughout the year with a goal of several peer-reviewed journal articles upon completion.
Qualifications:
Medical Student Preferred, Postgraduate or Undergraduate with Medical Interest is also acceptable
Must have several character traits including:
Highly motivated
Punctual
Organized
Team player
Dr. Michael Gottschalk, the Director of Clinical Research for the Department of Orthopaedics, will be overseeing the fellowship year and will help the applicant engage with world renowned Orthopaedic Scientists. The applicant will have access to a large group of amazing Orthopaedic Sports and Spine Faculty, who may be able to help propel ones career path.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions regarding the fellowship at mbgotts@emory.edu.
2. Emory University / Grady Hospital (Trauma) Research Fellowship (Clinical and Basic Science)
This is a wonderful opportunity for a highly motivated person to strengthen their application for the Orthopaedic Surgery Match.
The individual will work on numerous projects, including systematic reviews and on-going clinical and basic science research projects. The fellow will gain experience in grant writing, study design, statistics, database building, and manuscript preparation. Frequent meetings with fellowship-trained traumatologists will enable early goal setting, and successful submission of abstracts to national and international orthopaedic meetings, and full-length manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals. The fellow will participate in morning trauma board-rounds with the faculty and residents, as well as monthly trauma research meetings.

3. Emory University / Atlanta VA Medical Center (Basic Science) Research Fellowship
The Department of Orthopedics at Emory University is seeking applicants for a year-long basic/translational research fellow position in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for musculoskeletal applications.
In this position, the candidate will work on current research projects in the lab of Dr. Nick Willett. These projects include development and testing of therapeutics for osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders, investigating novel treatment compounds, and studying surgical analgesics, among other projects. As a part of this position, the candidate will be able to develop their own project, with support provided to prepare a journal publication, poster, or presentation. There will also be opportunities for protocol development, preparing IRBs, and grant submission. The candidate will also have the opportunity to shadow clinical collaborators at Emory and the Atlanta VA Medical Center, gain exposure to clinical research, and explore opportunities for career development.
Interested candidates should have prior research experience, preferably in a biosciences related field, and be familiar with common laboratory techniques, be able to work independently, have excellent communication skills, and be comfortable reviewing scientific literature. Candidates should also be familiar with basic software (Office, Acrobat, etc). Programming experience and familiarity with MATLAB, LabVIEW, and other similar software is beneficial but not required.
