Responsibilities

The Gastrointestinal Barrier Function Laboratory housed within the Enteric Neurosciences Program at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN is seeking an enthusiastic post-doctoral fellow to join our highly collaborative and translational research team looking at pathophysiological mechanisms of gastrointestinal motility disorders. The laboratory is at the forefront of research in human neurogastrointestinal disorders like post-infection irritable bowel syndrome and gastroparesis. We use a combination of techniques in physiology, imaging, molecular and cellular biology and animal models. We are particularly looking for a candidate interested in studying commensal interactions with luminal mediators of disease pathophysiology, particularly those affecting intestinal barrier function. The successful candidate would have a PhD in physiology, microbiology, immunology, or neurosciences. This position is not for clinical or MD candidates. Although we welcome candidates at various stages of their career, we especially encourage candidates who are/will be freshly graduating to reach out to learn about the laboratory.
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.

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.
