Job Summary
The Mayo Clinic Department of Neuroscience is recruiting an exceptional scientist (PhD MD/PhD MD or equivalent) who is a leading expert in neurodegenerative and related diseases to establish a robust research program at Mayo Clinic. The candidate is expected to have an outstanding track record in innovative scientific discovery with strong translational component in areas including biomarker discoveries novel therapeutic approaches such as RNA and cellular therapies utilizing human data biospecimens and model systems to accelerate discoveries toward disease-modifying therapies and cures. This individual will integrate efforts across sites and disciplines such as Neuroscience Neurology Artificial Intelligence and Pathology and Laboratory Medicine to leverage large-scale human datasets and biospecimens. By combining expertise in human disease biology model systems brain health and aging this scientist will uncover key disease mechanisms and drive predictive and therapeutic advances in neurodegenerative and related disorders. The ideal candidate will have a track record of basic and translational science discoveries experience engaging with business development and will be poised to take advantage of large-scale multi-PI research opportunities from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) ARPA and other funding agencies. The candidate will be eligible for all faculty privileges and be involved in the education of trainees.
Qualifications
The candidate will have strong expertise and experience in basic and translational research in neurodegeneration and related disorders brain health and disease from mechanisms to cures. The ideal candidate is expected to have a history of extramural funding high impact publications as well as a proven record of collaborative team science endeavors. This scientist will have a track record of basic and translational science research approaches including but not limited to model systems such as animal or human stem cell-based models cell biology and/or genetic engineering to uncover biological basis of disease and treatment thereof. The candidate will be expected to develop and apply these tools for generating diagnostic prognostic preventative or therapeutic applications in collaboration with other investigators and taking advantage of the innovative translational environment at Mayo Clinic. The required qualifications include the following:
- Ph.D. M.D. M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a relevant discipline
