CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

International Research Fellowship
in Total Joint Replacement Research

Sponsored by the
Anderson Orthopaedic Post-Graduate Fellowship

A Research Fellowship in Total Joint Replacement is being offered to members of the international orthopaedic community by the Anderson Orthopaedic Post-Graduate Fellowship, a private, not-for-profit organization. The fellowship offers the opportunity to participate in clinical and biomechanical research related to total joint replacements, particularly cementless, porous-coated total hip replacements. A minimum of 12 months in length, the Fellowship may be extended to 24 months upon mutual agreement.

The fellow will work closely with Charles A. Engh, M.D., a pioneer in the development of porous-coated hip implants, at the Anderson Orthopaedic Institute near Washington, DC.  Working in conjunction with the staff of the Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI), the fellow will have access to a histology laboratory with postmortem retrieved specimens, an extensive radiographic library, and a comprehensive clinical outcomes database.  Database administrators, biomechanical engineers, laboratory technicians, and an editor are available to assist the fellow on research projects. (See AORI's current research publications.)

REQUIREMENTS: Candidates should be orthopaedists who have completed the equivalent of at least two years of residency. They should have a strong interest in research related to total joint arthroplasty, particularly total hip replacements. Those aspiring to academic careers may be ideal candidates. Strong written and verbal skills in English are desirable, and the Candidate will need a J-1 Visa.

The Research Fellowship can begin on a mutually agreeable date. Financial support is available.

TO APPLY:  please send a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae detailing research experience, publications, and a brief (one-page) statement of your specific research interests and intent to:
