NYU Spine Research Fellow Positions


The Spine Research Center of NYU Langone Health, Directed by Dr. Aaron Buckland, is accepting applications for paid research fellow positions during the 2019-2020 academic year. This is a 1-year funded research opportunity beginning June/July 1st. The lab wishes to interview hard working pre-medical/medical students who thrive in a sociable and talented team environment.

Fellows gain experience in clinical research under the direction of the NYU spine faculty.  Fellows will attain familiarity and understanding of the research process from protocol to publication, developing a wide range of skills applicable to medical innovation and practice.  Research related spine topics include the practical experiences of spine surgical faculty as well as national databases which individual faculty members participate.  Expertise is developed in the use of clinical imaging tools, data analysis, manuscript writing and journal submission.

The fellow can expect to have 2 or more peer reviewed publications by the end of the research year, abstract acceptances at major spine conferences and opportunities to present research at spine conferences. This will undoubtedly bolster and enhance competitiveness for a position in medicine. This is an active and productive research program with numerous presentations at national and international meetings.

We are a high-output, streamlined research lab with many abstract and publication acceptances every year to the top conferences and spine journals in the country. There are many active ongoing projects including clinical prospective studies, retrospective reviews, meta-analyses, basic science, and opportunities to present your own ideas. As a research fellow, you’ll be part of an amazingly fun and intelligent group of engineers, physicians, medical students, fellows and pre-med college grads.

The attendings who may serve as your research mentors include:
If you believe you may qualify and are interested, please send Dr. Constance Maglaras your CV and short statement of interest to constance.maglaras@nyulangone.org. Please include the words “Research Applicant” in the subject line. Applications are currently being reviewed on a rolling basis.
