Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community.

The Department of Surgery of Emory University at Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia, is actively seeking two qualified academic Burn Surgeons to join a busy American Burn Association verified Adult and Pediatric Burn Unit at Grady Memorial Hospital.  The entire burn team participates actively in multi-specialty research endeavors and many are generously supported with funds for conference presentation and attendance.

 

Grady’s Burn Unit admits over 700 patients a year, including adult and pediatric patients, in a contemporary facility that provides comprehensive burn care.  We are a multidisciplinary team of physicians, physician assistants, Emory and Morehouse general and plastic surgery residents, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists and other ancillary staff. It is the only burn center in Georgia backed by a Level I Trauma Center (the Trauma Center admits about 4500 patients a year). See link for additional information about the Center: https://www.gradyburn.org/.

 

Responsibilities include supervision of a multidisciplinary team along with integral involvement with ICU rounds and the operating room. There are extraordinary opportunities for clinical research based on patient volumes and acuity. The ideal candidate should have a background or strong interest in clinical research (candidates with MPH, MSc or similar degree are very welcome to apply). Leadership opportunities in the unit exist as well.

 

Qualifications:

• Board Certified Surgeon with post-graduate training
