Job Summary
This position opens for a project focused on comprehending the pathogenesis of polycystic kidney disease the #1 monogenic human disease leading to kidney failure and death. We integrate cultured cell lines organoids and animal models to understand how primary cilia regulate the formation of kidney cysts during development and aging. We welcome individuals who are highly curious to molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases and highly motivated and committed to explorative mechanistic research. Common molecular and cellular techniques are required including molecular cloning mutagenesis cell culture and transfection and immunoblotting.
Experience on recombinant protein expression and pull-down assays would be beneficial. Candidates familiar with various microscope imaging techniques especially immunofluorescence microscopy are highly encouraged to apply. The project also involves proteomics studies as well as investigating disease phenotype in established mouse models using MRI imaging and histological analyses.
This lab is affiliated with the Mayo Clinic Translational PKD Center and closely collaborates with its world-renown PKD researchers and physicians. Succeeding candidate will have full access to research tools and the state-of-the-art technical services available at the PKD Center including
patient samples and disease models that can be used for pre-clinical studies if promising drug targets are defined. While we greatly appreciate the independent problem-solving ability that is critical for research we do recognize the uniqueness of each lab member and encourage teamwork and collaboration devoting to cultivate a supportive environment to promote personal growth.
A Research Fellow position in Life Sciences (LS) will require knowledge of either clinical-based research or laboratory-based research often obtained from a postdoctoral program.
A Research Fellow at Mayo Clinic is a temporary position intended to provide training and education in research.
