EACE Orthopaedic Trauma Research Postdoctoral Fellowship

What will I be doing?

This Orthopedic Trauma Research Fellowship will be part of the EACE Regenerative Biosciences Laboratory, located within the Department of Surgery at USUHS and WRNMMC. As an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) participant, you will join The EACE Regenerative Biosciences Laboratory in the development and evaluation of next generation technologies and approaches for the treatment of combat related orthopedic trauma. In particular, contemporary cell / molecular biology in vitro approaches as well as clinically relevant small and large animal models of orthopedic trauma are utilized to generate the knowledge required to translate promising technologies into clinical practice.

Why should I apply?

• Gain hands-on experience to complement your education and support your academic and professional goals
• Engage in activities and research in several areas including, but not limited to:
• Exposure to various aspects of pre-clinical research through participation in ongoing collaborative research projects
• Data collection appropriate to existing research protocol(s)
