Requirements

Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a field deemed relevant by the research program. Preferred degrees may include computer science, applied math, neuroscience, or closely related quantitative field. Individuals currently enrolled in an accredited doctoral degree program with expected graduation prior to position commencement will be considered.
Additional Qualifications:
The ideal candidate will have prior experience conducting imaging-based neurology research. We are specifically interested in a motivated individual who can work well as a member of an interdisciplinary team and who has excellent organizational, time-management, and communication skills.

Responsibilities

The Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic Arizona is recruiting one Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on diverse problems within neurology and neuroscience. The fellow will be mentored by Dr. Oana Dumitrascu, MD, MSc and Dr. Gina Dumkrieger, PhD. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in and quantitative experience with neuroimaging, retinal imaging, large databases (e.g., UK Biobank) and machine learning/artificial intelligence models. In the initial project the fellow will develop multimodal (clinical and imaging data) diagnostic and prognostic models related to Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular and other cognitive disorders.
We are searching for an individual who is ready to take the analytical lead in this exciting project to identify neuroimaging vascular biomarkers of early AD and digital biomarkers which differentiate early AD from other causes of cognitive impairment. This person will work closely with a cross-disciplinary team of physicians and other researchers, but qualified individuals will have experience working with limited supervision and will contribute actively to the development of the research projects they work on.
The Research Fellow will contribute to new project development, grant writing, data analyses, and scientific manuscripts/presentations (first author and co-author). There will be opportunities to develop independent research projects and grant proposals based on individual research interests. Candidates will participate in training, education, and professional development opportunities available at the Mayo Clinic or Arizona's local top Universities. The Fellow will also receive support to present at professional meetings or other professional development opportunities.
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.
