  • Total Hip Arthroplasty Research Position

    The Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI) is seeking a full-time
    employee to participate in ongoing research related to polyethylene wear
    after total hip arthroplasty and three-dimensional imaging of
    periprosthetic anatomy using computed tomography and magnetic resonance
    imaging. The primary mission of AORI is to share its research findings
    with the orthopaedic community, principally through peer-reviewed
    publications and scientific meetings. The successful applicant will be
    expected to conduct research projects and actively participate in
    manuscript preparation. AORI employees are included as co-authors on all
    work stemming from their research. Job responsibilities will entail
    working closely with Dr. Charles Engh on a daily basis. Dr. Engh is an
    orthopaedic surgeon who pioneered porous-coated implant fixation. Computer
    proficiency is essential. An advanced degree (MS, PhD, or MD) and prior
    experience with histological techniques, three-dimensional image analysis,
    statistics, and/or joint replacement are desirable but not necessary. The
    most essential prerequisites for this position are an outstanding work
    ethic and the desire to learn new skills. This position might be ideal for
    someone who has completed a bachelor or graduate degree and is looking for
    clinically-relevant experience related to orthopaedic implant design and
    performance evaluation. While relevant experience is desirable, AORI
    regards itself as a teaching institute and will gladly provide on-the-job
    training for capable individuals who are ambitious and self-motivated.

    AORI is a non-profit research organization that was founded in 1972. The
    Institute is based in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC,
    and is world-renown for clinically-oriented research related to hip and
    knee replacement. AORI maintains an internal database that tracks the
    outcome of over 7500 total hip arthroplasty procedures and has a
    post-mortem implant retrieval collection that includes over 100 specimens.
    For more information about AORI, see our website (www.aori.org). If you
    are willing to work in the Northern Virginia area, please submit a resume
    with a cover letter. E-mail should be sent to rhopper@aori.org.
    Alternately, applicant information can be faxed to (703) 799-5981 or sent
    to AORI, Attn: Robert Hopper, P.O. Box 7088, Alexandria, VA 22307. This
    position includes benefits and is available immediately.
