Postdoctoral Position - Health Sciences Research Summary Investigator: Peter Li, PhD
Summary
Division of Biomedical Informatics has two postdoctoral research associate positions available for immediate appointment. The positions are part of a bioinformatics research program under the direction of Peter Li, Ph.D. The near-term goal of this program is to address the fundamental aspects of mining "omics" data and their related biological models. This involves the development of better analytic approaches as well as better data abstraction and integration techniques. With improved methodologies, the program will also tackle the next level challenges of knowledge representation and deployment. The long-term goal is to focus on translational and individualized medicine through these novel bioinformatics and systems approaches. These efforts are core to the development of an integrated
scientific and clinical environment at the Mayo Clinic. As junior faculty in the program, the research associate will be expected to assume important roles in the program: guiding other team members to successful research milestones, establishing collaboration with basic science and clinical researchers, mentoring postdoctoral fellows and students, and developing new directions for future research.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate should have a PhD in bioinformatics/computational biology or a related field. Preference will be given to applicants with significant research experience in bioinformatics and demonstrated research aptitude. The diversity of subject matter will require a creative mind, deploying imaginative strategies, with dedication to solving complex and challenging problems. Applicants should be highly motivated and flexible, with excellent communication skills, and work well with people.

Postdoctoral Position - Anastasiadis Lab (Cell Adhesion and Metastasis) Summary Investigator: Kun Ling, Ph.D. Assistant Professor
One or two postdocs positions are open for a newly established laboratory. We are interested in the molecular mechanism underlying cell adhesion and
migration, and how these would relate to embryogenesis, wound healing, and human diseases such as cancer metastasis. Our current major focus is to investigate how type Igamma phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase (PIPKIgamma), which generates phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, regulates cell adhesion and migration, and participates in the relevant life events. Multidisciplinary approaches including molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics are used to address our research objectives. The postdoctoral fellow(s) will join several ongoing projects to define the role of PIPKIgamma in cancer metastasis, angiogenesis, and wound healing.
Ph.D. degree in cell biology or biochemistry is required. Candidates with experience of fluorescence live imaging or mouse model will be preferred.

Postdoctoral Position - Nicotine Dependence Center - Research Program Summary Investigator: David Warner, M.D. Professor of Anesthesiology
A postdoctoral research fellow position is immediately available in the Nicotine Dependence Center Research Program, Mayo Clinic Rochester. The Center has a long track record of research spanning the spectrum of tobacco control from randomized clinical trials of pharmacotherapy to tobacco document research. The activities of the fellow in this position will primarily involve multidisciplinary collaborations to study smoking cessation in surgical patients, including intervention development and dissemination, and surgery as a model for a teachable moment for smoking cessation. The fellow will also have the opportunity to participate in other aspects of Nicotine Dependence Center activities, working with a variety of
funded investigators, as well as the full range of educational opportunities available at Mayo Clinic. The ability to collaborate in a complex multi-disciplinary environment while working independently is critical to success in this post-doctoral position. Candidates should have doctoral-level degree (e.g. Ph.D., Dr. P.H.) in a health behavior-related discipline such as psychology, health education or epidemiology and are expected to have excellent analytic and writing skills. Candidates with training in psychology will have the opportunity to have a co-sponsor in the Department of Psychology and Psychiatry. M.D. candidates with training and experience in a health behavior-related discipline (e.g., M.P.H., psychiatry) are also welcome to apply. The initial appointment is for one year, renewable with successful performance. Participation in teaching is optional.
