Responsibilities

The Research Fellow will work on new and ongoing projects in the Division of Computational Pathology and Artificial Intelligence. Projects will provide an excellent opportunity to work with multidisciplinary teams and large clinical data sets.
Mayo Clinic has embarked on digitizing its large collection of glass slides, with several million gigapixel images currently available. The research fellow will use these data sets, accompanied by other clinically sourced data, as a springboard to pursue multiple cutting-edge topics in machine learning, image analysis, and discovery in support of the clinical and research activities of the division. The fellow will work on projects that include:
Developing novel algorithms to classify, segment, characterize, or predict patient outcomes, biomarker status, or disease.
Evaluating model behavior and robustness, with a focus on developing novel methods to improve model performance and generalizability.
Analyzing human-AI interaction to understand the human factors associated with AI augmentation of pathology.
The Research Fellow will work under the mentorship of pathologists and data scientists, and will work closely with other trainees, IT groups, and other staff in support of these projects.
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.

Mission & Purpose

Mayo Clinic has expanded and changed in many ways, but our values remain true to the vision of our founders. Our primary value – The needs of the patient come first – guides our plans and decisions as we create the future of health care. Join us and you'll find a culture of teamwork, professionalism and mutual respect, and most importantly, a life-changing career. Mayo Clinic was founded in Rochester, Minnesota by brothers Dr. William James Mayo and Dr. Charles Horace Mayo. More than 100 years later, their vision continues to evolve around a single guiding value: "The needs of the patient come first." Today we are the largest integrated, not for-profit medical group practice in the world. We are recognized for high-quality patient care more than any other academic medical center in the nation. These endorsements are very gratifying, but also humbling. They remind us of the tradition that has been entrusted to each one of us, and the legacy of excellence that we uphold every day.
