Job description

Mayo Clinic's Department of Neurosurgery in Rochester, MN recruiting up to two postdoctoral Fellowship position in artificial intelligence. The position is for a 1-2 year paid fellowship working under the mentorship of Dr. Gelareh Zadeh and Dr. Hojjat Salehinejad. The application is open to both clinicians and research candidates, including those currently in training or have recently completed training (post-doc). The expectation at the end of the fellowship is that the fellow will be well prepared to become a leader in Healthcare AI/ML, either in the academic or biotechnology setting.

The ideal candidate must have strong expertise in data structures and algorithms, Python programming language (including Tensorflow/PyTroch), Linux shell scripting, DBMS (e.g. MySQL, Redis), Docker, stochastic processes, statistical learning, and machine learning (particularly deep learning). Expertise in Google Cloud Services (GCP) is a plus.

The candidate must have a track-record of publications/scientific writing and have strong proficiency in all four skills of English language, particularly experience in writing scientific manuscripts. It is anticipated that in addition to an independent research projects candidate will assist in developing the strategies specific to discovery research and deploying AI approaches within the Department of Neurosurgery.

A Research Fellow in Engineering (ENG) is based on role and responsibilities requiring Engineering skills regardless of Ph.D. background. Main skills used in this track may include setting up mechanical research equipment, developing experimental protocols, biomechanics development in orthopedics, implementing protocols, and/or providing engineering technical expertise and analysis. Responsibilities (depending upon area of research) may also involve use of x-ray computed tomography (CT), radiation dosimetry, x-ray physics, and proficiency in Matlab and/or C++ programs. May work in a special engineering group, process and test algorithms, informatics, data for computer programming, and implement algorithms to apply to concepts, research, and clinical applications and devices.

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.
