The Division of Geriatrics & Gerontology is in an exciting phase of growth and recruitment of research faculty who will expand our dynamic and collaborative research enterprise. Emory has dedicated substantial resources - financial investment, cutting edge research space and exceptional colleagues - for these researchers who will help shape discovery on their upward trajectory.

With the goal of expanding innovative, interdisciplinary research and scholarship aimed at improving human health, the Division seeks to strategically strengthen research in cross-cutting scientific disciplines related to aging research, including, but not limited to managing multiple chronic conditions, enhancing caregiving, data sciences, AI/machine learning, health disparities and outcomes science, and innovations in promoting optimized independence in aging.
