Job Description
A Research Fellow position is now available in the Neuroregeneration and Neurorehabilitation Laboratoryunder the mentorship ofDr. Isobel Scarisbrick. Our team is integrated with the Mayo ClinicCenter for Biotherapeuticsand theCenter for Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune Neurology. Our research focuses on fundamental mechanisms of neural repair and intersects molecular and systems neuroscience with an eye towards translational significance. The research is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Minnesota State SCI and TBI Research PI is dedicated to the career advancement of each team member.
The successful candidate will perform research that:
- Spans cellular and molecular mechanisms of neural injury and regeneration
- Focuses on murine modeling includingneurodevelopmental disorders neurotrauma neurodegeneration and demyelinating diseases
- Utilizes transgenic mouse models stem cell engraftment and pharmacologic approaches to unleash neural regeneration
- The project will require the implementation of several technologies from in vitro studies with primary murine and human cells in vivo experiments in murine models and bioinformatics approaches.
- Opportunities to integrate studies that utilize human specimens and patient records is also available
A Research Fellow at Mayo Clinic is a temporary position intended to provide training and education in research. Individuals will train in the research program of a Mayo Clinic principal investigator. Qualified individuals will demonstrate the potential for research as evidenced by their training and peer-reviewed publications and should become competitive for national research grants. Proof of English proficiency is required for J-1 Short-Term Scholars Research Scholars Professors Specialists and Student Interns sponsored by Mayo Clinic.
