Description

Discover Your Career at Emory University The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Emory University seeks an ABOS certified (or eligible) Orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in Hand Surgery to join the Department at the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor. Academic rank will be commensurate with experience. The position is a full-time academic opportunity with possibility of advancement and competitive compensation model with excellent health/dental and retirement benefits. It is based in a busy metropolitan city with access to a major airport, cultural and recreational activities, and extensive family-oriented resources. Description The ideal candidate will have a passion for shoulder, elbow, and hand trauma but microvascular and peripheral nerve expertise would be desirable as well. They will be exposed to high energy traumatic injuries with the opportunity for complex upper extremity reconstruction of soft tissue, nervous, and bony injuries. They can also contribute to the medical education of plastic and orthopaedic resident and fellow trainees through weekly teaching, clinical rotations, and anatomy sessions if desired. Interest in pursuing academic endeavors is also a possibility if desired as the successful candidate will be joining an academically productive faculty of 10 upper extremity surgeons (plastic and orthopaedic surgeons) who are actively involved in both clinical outcomes and biomechanics research. Given the interdisciplinary collaborations clinically and through research, we are looking for candidates who are great team players and wish to push upper extremity innovation through their careers. The candidate will be based principally at St. Joseph’s Hospital and John’s Creek Hospital with a wide variety of complex upper extremity trauma. Call responsibility is shared with 9 other hand surgeons. Given the clinical volume, we are looking for someone to work with our existing providers to care for a high volume of very complex patients and pathologies, while collaborating on academic and teaching endeavors.
