Research Associate
The Research Associate will be the project Lead for the Visual Data Project- Alexandria, under the direction of Dr. Robert Hotchkiss in the HSS Hand and Upper Extremities Service at HSS. The hands, wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder are critical to nearly every activity of daily living. When injury or disease of the bones, nerves, joints, and muscles threatens their functioning, overall quality of life is at risk as well. Hospital for Special Surgery’s Hand Service is world-renowned for treating children and adults suffering from all types of bone and soft-tissue conditions of the hand and upper extremity.
The Visual Data Project- Alexandria
A patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. The incorporation of images as data is a necessary and fundamental change to improve verification, documentation, illustration, and education. Although images are often referenced in a research publication, the inclusion of the “essential” images that are context-sensitive to condition, phase of treatment and ultimate outcome can form the very basis of learning “that” and learning “how”.
- This project is to build technology and processes that acquire, optimize, aggregate, organize and display images related to the care of the upper limb patient with injury or arthritis.
- Coupled with methodological rigor and other features of clinical research, we will integrate the source images, their analysis and the reported outcomes of a variety of conditions.

- Research methodology, including regulatory compliance, IRB matters and research accounting practices will also be needed.
- Because the system is being built, weekly interaction with IT developers, architects and data science professionals will be necessary.
- Some of this work is documenting novel devices that are approved for clinical use, but nonetheless are in the early phases of use.
- Interacting with device and drug companies will likely be included in the activities of the project lead.
- The ability to use improvisation, stepping in to do what is needed and unscheduled, will be common.
- Develops and maintains SOPs and workflows.
- Continuously reviews, identifies areas for improvement and works to develop and implement operational efficiencies.
Skills:
- 5 years of Clinical Research experience including regulatory and IRB submissions.
- Knowledge of Good Clinical Practice and Clinical Trials
