We are seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher with expertise in Machine Learning, Signal Processing, Physics, or a similar field to join the Neurology Artificial Intelligence Program (NAIP).

NAIP is an expanding team consisting of clinician-investigators, data scientists, and software engineers who are dedicated to building AI tools for use in clinical care and patient-centered research. We are located within the clinical practice at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and have strong connections to ongoing neurology research programs. We have federal funding to capture speech recordings and quantitative gait measures at scale in our patients.

The focus of this position will be diagnosing neurological disease through our growing database of patient-generated data, specifically speech recordings and transcriptions, as well as quantitative gait and eye tracking measures. This includes working on aspects such as preprocessing data, training machine learning models, clinical validation studies, and scientific dissemination via publication and code sharing. As such, being comfortable in Python and working on shared codebases is a requirement. Prior experience in speech or signal processing, natural language processing, and/or timeseries analyses is preferred.

This role presents an exciting opportunity to apply leading expertise in neurology, speech-language pathology, and motion analysis towards developing impactful digital tools for clinical use. It is ideal for someone who is passionate about advancing healthcare through technology, including machine learning. 

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.

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