Job description

The Division of Plastic Surgery in conjunction with the Upper Extremity Division at Emory University seeks an ABPS certified (or eligible) Plastic surgeon with fellowship training in Hand Surgery to join the Division 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. The ideal candidate will have a passion for hand and nerve trauma. In addition, microvascular upper and lower extremity reconstruction expertise would be desirable as well. They will be exposed to high energy traumatic injuries with the opportunity for complex extremity reconstruction of soft tissue, nervous, and bony injuries. They will 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 in nerve research is highly favorable as the successful candidate will be joining an academically productive faculty of 11 upper extremity surgeons (plastic and orthopaedic surgeons) who are actively involved in clinical outcomes, database, 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 Grady Hospital, the nation’s busiest Level 1 trauma center, with a wide variety of complex trauma and reconstructive surgery. Call responsibility is shared with 11 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.
