About this position

This research opportunity at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is centered on building a database of robotic surgical device technologies and using it to analyze how key technological attributes vary across device classes and how those technologies have evolved over time.

The participant will work with FDA review staff in the Office of Product Evaluation and Quality (OPEQ) to identify the features that define and differentiate robotic surgical devices, organize those attributes into a structured database, and examine patterns in the spread of technologies across different categories of robotic systems. The project is aimed at helping FDA better understand how robotic surgical technologies are grouped, how they develop from one generation to the next, and how internal data systems support device evaluation.

Under the guidance of mentor Gabrielle Clark-Patterson, PhD, General Engineer in the Office of Surgical and Infection Control Devices, the participant will gain exposure to FDA’s regulatory science environment and the review processes used for surgical devices. The learning experience includes understanding how technological characteristics relate to regulatory pathways and how FDA evaluates submissions involving teleoperated systems, automated functions, and artificial intelligence-enabled technologies.

The opportunity is based in Silver Spring, Maryland, within FDA’s CDRH, an organization focused on safe, effective, and high-quality medical devices and science-based public health protection. The role is structured as a full-time research participation appointment and is intended for students and recent graduates working in a project-specific setting.
