A postdoctoral fellowship position is available immediately in the Department of Neuroscience at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ under the supervision of Dr. John D. Fryer, Ph.D., Professor of Neuroscience (https://www.mayo.edu/research/faculty/fryer-john-d-ph-d/bio-00055162). The research fellow/senior research fellow will focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegeneration and aging, in particular in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). This individual will lead projects that develop and advance biologics for the treatment of ADRD, from inception to commercialization. This position requires extensive molecular biology skills that include standard and advanced molecular cloning techniques (digital cloning, restriction enzymes, site-directed mutagenesis, etc.), as well as molecular display techniques (e.g., phage display). Proficiency with in vivo mouse models is desired but not required. Qualified candidates should have a PhD or equivalent degree and a publication record that demonstrates proficiency in molecular biology techniques. Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English are essential.

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:

• Proof of doctoral degree (copy of a diploma or final transcript with English translation, if applicable) or a letter from your university's Registrar office indicating you have fulfilled all doctoral program requirements and are eligible to graduate.
• An NIH formatted biosketch and/or curriculum vitae, a brief statement of interest that includes their qualifications, and contact details of at least three references.
