We seek a non-tenure track pathologist at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor to join an interactive, collegial group of faculty who evaluate a wide variety of surgical specimens. Emory University has one of the largest AP/CP residencies in the country, 12 accredited subspecialty fellowships, and close ties to the NCI-designated Winship Cancer Center, creating abundant opportunities for clinical and translational scholarship and teaching (see www.pathology.emory.edu).
Applicants must hold MD or MD/PhD degrees and be board eligible or certified in Anatomic Pathology and also be eligible for medical licensure in Georgia. The position will entail sign out of a mix of surgical pathology cases with variable complexity. Fellowship training in cytopathology is highly desirable. Candidates with fellowship training in any other surgical pathology subspecialty especially genitourinary pathology, gastrointestinal pathology or head and neck pathology are encouraged to apply. Compensation and faculty rank will be commensurate with qualifications.
Please complete the online application and include your CV, cover letter and list of references. Please direct inquiries to George Birdsong MD, care of Marcie Ansari at marcie.m.ansari@emory.edu.

Dr. Hansen’ lab studies the interactions between satellite cells and the vasculature. Satellite cells are skeletal muscle progenitor cells that are known to play an important role in muscle repair after injury and adaptation to exercise. However, the Hansen lab focuses on a previously underexplored role of satellite cells in vascular growth. They have found that satellite cells, when activated, produced a number of chemoattractant growth factors that drive the migration of vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells which in an important factor in the growth and development of blood vessels. This area is of particular interest in the context of peripheral artery disease (PAD), where patients suffer from ischemic tissue damage but treatment options are still limited. We have found that the effectiveness of exercise therapy in PAD is related to satellite cell. We are currently using single cell sequencing techniques to explore satellite cell biology in the context of exercise with the hope of development more optimal exercise regimens.
This position would be focused on studying satellite cell heterogeneity and transcriptional regulation in response to exercise therapy. The project will utilize mouse models of vascular growth, satellite cell ablation, and running as well biopsies from PAD patients undergoing exercise therapy. Tasks will include animal model, cell isolation and sorting, single cell sequencing, and computational analysis using R and other software to determine parameters such as cell clusters and pathway enrichment networks.

The Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and the Emory University Department of Pediatrics are seeking an academic Clinical Pediatric Psychologist to join our established Supportive Care Clinic.
This embedded, interdisciplinary, consultative clinic, in existence since 2017, is currently led by a dual trained oncologist-palliative care physician and an experienced nurse practitioner. Over 60% of visits to Supportive Care involve mental health concerns, predominately around adjusting to a diagnosis of cancer, along with the adverse effects of treatment related side effects and the demands of treatment. Many patients have progressive disease and they and their families require special attention to pain, existential and psychological distress, advance care planning and end-of-life preparations. The clinic aims to provide medical guidance, pharmacotherapy, individual psychotherapy, family psychotherapy, and hospice coordination/ case management for patients who are referred by their oncology teams.
The pediatric psychologist within this clinic will take part in interdisciplinary outpatient visits with medical providers, provide psychological assessments and interventions focused on developing skills and behaviors to help cope with illness, uncertainty, and anticipatory grief. Supportive Care providers work closely with patients and families during their treatment course, following patients until survivorship or end-of-life and into family bereavement. All treatment would focus on continuity of care for a low volume of high-need families.
The psychologist would work closely with palliative care providers, oncology teams, psychiatry, the Supportive Care behavioral and mental health (BMH) therapist (LCSW), and practice operations coordinator to develop and implement a comprehensive treatment plan for each patient.
This academically-appointed psychologist will train and supervise BMH providers. This position will also involve program development with the ability to customize based on patient and family needs and academic interests. Appointments will be in-person and via telehealth, and may occur in clinic or less frequently the inpatient setting.
Specific clinical training & skills related to the assessment and intervention of psychosocial needs associated with medical illness are necessary.
Candidates with a strong background in CBT, Pain Psychology, Dignity Therapy, Grief Counseling, and an interest in working with children with life-limiting cancer preferred.
