In the study design phase, the associate conducts literature reviews to identify unanswered clinical questions, participates in team meetings (with bioengineers and orthopedic surgeons) to design studies, and assist in submitting project grants for funding. In the testing phase, the employee works with orthopedic surgeons to prepare and dissect the samples, and with biomedical engineers to perform the tests. After testing, the associate helps interpret data, write manuscripts, and submit to leading orthopedic conferences and journals. Research Fellow Interns can also assist with project logistics, such as scheduling test days, acquiring specimens that meet inclusion criteria, and managing surgical equipment inventory to ensure we have everything we need for test days. The employee may be working on multiple projects at the same time, so time management is an essential skill. In addition to their work in the BME department, Research Fellow trainees are encouraged to shadow resident surgeons in the operating room and assist clinical fellows in the surgical skills laboratory. There are also opportunities for collaboration with the Imaging, Regenerative Medicine and Clinical Outcomes departments.
Two positions are available for a period of one year. Estimated start date May 2024 (some flexibility). The job interviews start at the end of December. This is a paid Research Fellow internp for $20 per hour and an allowance of $500 per month for rent with proof of lease agreement. Insurance package available.
