Research Fellow - Gut Microbiome Lab

Job description

The Gut Microbiome Laboratory, housed within the Enteric Neurosciences Program at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN), is seeking a highly motivated, self-driven postdoctoral fellow to join a collaborative and translational research team focused on defining pathophysiological mechanisms underlying gastrointestinal motility disorders. Our program represents one of the largest and most integrated groups of physicians and scientists studying the enteric nervous system and gastrointestinal physiology, with a long history of paradigm-shifting discoveries that have shaped the field. We are seeking new team members who are excited to contribute to, and extend, this distinguished tradition. The laboratory is at the forefront of research in human neurogastrointestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We employ an integrated experimental approach that combines physiology, advanced imaging, molecular and cellular biology, and in vivo animal models to interrogate gut-microbe-host interactions. Our work is published in high-impact journals (Gastroenterology, Cell, Cell Host & Microbe, and Science Translational Medicine) and is supported by NIH funding. We provide extensive resources...
