Research Post-doctoral Fellow- Skin Longevity Lab at Mayo Clinic - S. Wyles

The Wyles Lab in the Center for Regenerative Biotherapeutics and Mayo Clinic Department of Dermatology has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow interested in studying the association between cutting-edge biomarkers of skin aging and 3D bioprinting skin tissues. In this role, the candidate will lead independent projects on studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms of skin senescence in human models, specifically related to tissue engineering 3D skin models and wound patch development. Prior experience in tissue bioprinting and/or tissue engineering required.

The ideal candidate will be skilled in and have experience in:

• Tissue bioprinting and tissue engineering
        
• Histopathology techniques and immunostaining
        
• Conducting analyses
        
• 3D skin equivalents, explants, or other in vitro skin models for research
        
• The biology of aging and/or aging-related conditions
        
• Excellent manuscript writing and communication skills

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. Upon background check and CCATS Executive Committee approval, Research Fellow may have patient/research subject contact directly relating to and incidental to the original research program. Proof of English proficiency is required for J-1 Short-Term Scholars, Research Scholars, Professors, Specialists, and Student Interns sponsored by Mayo Clinic.

Must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral degree in a field deemed relevant by the program. 

Must have 3D printing and/or 3D bioprinting experience.

Research Fellow is appropriate for individuals who have completed no more than one prior postdoctoral fellowship, at Mayo Clinic or elsewhere.
