Job Description
The Graduate Research Appointment (GRA) is a postbaccalaureate appointment for participants with an interest in biomedical research. The primary purpose is to provide a postbaccalaureate laboratory research experience that applies skills in science technology engineering or math to biomedical research including basic science or translational research. GRA participants will have the opportunity to participate in selected graduate classes and seminars while working in this role.
*Visa sponsorship is not available for this position is not eligible for F1 OPT STEM extension.
Additional Information:
The research group of Dr. Suman Bose has an opening for a Graduate Research Appointment position. The candidate will work on highly interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of cell engineering molecular biology and bioinformaticsto engineer cellbased products to treat chronic diseases. The role will involve the following:
- Maintains mammalian cell lines and perform biomolecular assays (ELISA qPCR western blots and others)
- Develop new cell lines using cloning and genome editing
- Perform DNA and RNA library prep for bulk and single cell
- Statistical analysis of largescale datasets (scRNA genomics proteomics) using R Python and Linux
- Performs animal work that involves surgery regular bleeds blood glucose measurements organ harvesting and imaging.
- Organizes data and performs basic statistical data analysis. Presents at research laboratory meetings and contributes to the writing of manuscripts.
- Works under supervision of postdoctoral candidate but may perform some assignments independently as approved by Principal Investigator.
This is an excellent opportunity for postbaccalaureate students interested in gaining 12 year of intense research experience in an interdisciplinary area combining engineering with translational research and earning their position in journal publications.
Qualifications
Bachelors degree with a strong background in science technology engineering or math. Authorization to work and remain in the United States without necessity for Mayo Clinic sponsorship now or in the future (for example be a U.S. citizen national or permanent resident refugee or asylee.
Students that do not meet these criteria do not qualify.
- Applicants who are currently in Graduate or Medical School are not eligible.
- Eligibility of applicants with advanced degrees above BA or BS depend on the specific degree
Preferred Qualifications:
Preference will be given to those with a Bachelors degree in Engineering (Biological Chemical or Mechanical) Biology Chemistry or any closely related field and previous research experience. Preferred 1 year of lab experience with applied bioinformatics projects (preferably on largescale omics data). Staff will be trained to use the relevant techniques. Previous experience with some of the following techniques would be advantageous: mammalian cell culture biomolecular assays (ELISA Western Blot RNA extraction qPCR confocal microscopy) molecular cloning and Animal work (surgery bleeding necropsy).
