Job Description:
Translational Bioengineering: Developing and testing novel
devices in preclinical models. A new position in the field of
bioengineering and translational research is available for a highly
enthusiastic Postdoctoral Fellow to lead NIH-funded research. The
candidate will focus on device development, device testing in
various small and large animal models and be a member of a
multidisciplinary team that includes clinicians, engineers, and
scientists. Testing of clinically applicable devices such as
biomaterials and sensors is performed in large animal models with a
strong emphasis on translation of these bioengineered designs. The
expertise of the PI laboratory includes molecular biology,
biochemistry, angiography, large animal models, bioengineering, and
the use of sophisticated clinical image-guided techniques. In terms
of training and career goals, the PI will work with candidates on
individual career development plans that may include the training
in advanced career skills such as grant writing for NIH and
regulatory work with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Future
career goals for the applicant (towards the end of a multi-year
training period in the Oklu lab) may include a transition to
independence as a new PI or the potential of partaking in
scientifically related entrepreneurial activities (contingent upon
achievement of academic milestones). Other roles of the candidate
include but not limited to the development of research ideas,
projects, and study protocols, participate in weekly research
meetings to generate relevant and novel research ideas for grant
applications, correspondence with the Institutional Animal Care &
Use Committee & Institutional Review Board, submit applications for
new research projects, renew the application for existing and
on-going studies, and terminate completed projects. Preparation and
Presentation of Abstracts for Podium or Poster, write abstracts for
submission to annual scientific meetings, present accepted
abstracts as podium or poster during scientific meetings.
Manuscript writing and submission to scientific journals, complete
manuscripts and submit to peer-reviewed journals. 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. 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. The following is required for completeness of
application: • Current curriculum vitae with bibliography • Proof
of doctoral degree (copy of diploma or final transcript with
English translation, if applicable) or a letter from your
universitys Registrar office indicating you have fulfilled all
doctoral program requirements and are eligible to graduate. •
Please also be prepared that you may be asked to provide three
letters of recommendation to the hiring PI prior to an interview.
Qualifications • Must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral
degree in a field deemed relevant by the program. Research Fellow
is appropriate for individuals who have completed no more than one
prior postdoctoral fellowship, at Mayo Clinic or elsewhere.
