Specifically, this individual will be expected to pursue a personal research portfolio as well as establish robust collaborations with others in the department, both scientists and surgeon scientists, and those in the UCSF community and beyond, building a surgically-focused health services research network. These efforts are expected to facilitate the research and funding success of all members and affiliates of the Core. As such, deliverables and metrics will be not only personal academic output but also that of Core scientists and surgeon-scientists. The leader will be expected to play an instrumental role in providing (co-)mentorship to our talented trainees.

Research Faculty, Surgery 

Posted November 2023

In an era where healthcare is evolving at an unprecedented pace, Wake Forest University School of Medicine stands at the forefront of innovation, collaboration, and patient-centered impact. With an unwavering commitment to improving health, elevating hope, and advancing healing, we are shaping the future of healthcare through bolstering our commitment to being a next-generation academic Learning Health System (aLHS). With an increasingly diverse patient population, we are seeking to bridge the gap quicker between scientific discoveries and their practical applications in real-world healthcare settings.

 To do this, we are launching faculty searches for Clinically Embedded Scholars, who will be critical to the realization of an effective aLHS. Our institution thrives on collaboration, recognizing that solving complex healthcare challenges demands a collective effort. As part of a vibrant academic and clinical environment, we encourage multidisciplinary partnerships that span departments, centers, and institutes, magnifying the impact of patient-centered care that keeps patients safe, promotes healing, and includes, informs, and inspires patients. 

The ideal Health Services Researcher would work collaboratively across this Academic Learning Health System to generate and support surgical research. Our vision is to create a leadership culture that advances surgical science, transforms education, and inspires innovation to be the first and best choice for comprehensive, interdisciplinary surgical care.

Candidates who have demonstrated methodological expertise in the areas of policy, economic or program evaluation, pragmatic trials, population health theory and behavior, statistical analysis of large administrative, claims, registry or electronic medical record datasets, implementation and dissemination research, or learning health systems are of particular interest. The researcher will be expected to help advance the extramural portfolio of the department, and leadership opportunities are available.

Ideal candidates will have the following qualifications: 


Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center Department of Surgery
 The Department of Surgery has 81 full-time clinical faculty and seven PhD translational and basic science researchers, and all Faculty have access to academic appointments at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

The general surgery residency matches six categorical residents per year, and Fellowship programs are offered in seven areas of surgery.

Organizational Overview
 In October 2020, Wake Forest Baptist Health and Atrium Health officially joined together as a single enterprise under the name Atrium Health. Atrium Health is an integrated, not-for-profit healthcare system headquartered in Charlotte, NC. As part of this new enterprise, Atrium Health is providing $3.4 billion for planned investments in our health system and the communities we serve; $600 million alone is focused on advancing Wake Forest’s academic mission. The Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM) is the academic core of Atrium Health and is building a second campus of the School of Medicine in Charlotte, North Carolina. The new strategic partnership between Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health has created an unparalleled opportunity for health services research in a diverse catchment area of over 7 million residents across four states in the Southeastern United States.
