The Mayo Clinic Center for Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery (CAMS) invites
applications for a highly competitive, 12-month postdoctoral research fellowship
in aesthetic medicine and healthy longevity. This interdisciplinary program
integrates clinical and translational research, regenerative science, skin aging
biology, and structured multidisciplinary clinical observation.
Under the direction of Saranya Wyles, MD, PhD, Fellowship Director, and Sara
Bonnes, MD, Associate Program Director, the fellow will lead research evaluating
emerging technologies, procedures, therapeutics, biomarkers, or care models.
Research opportunities span skin rejuvenation, tissue repair, regenerative
dermatology, and the role of aesthetic interventions in supporting patients
affected by serious and complex disease.
The fellowship combines protected research time, individualized mentorship, and
observational experiences across CAMS and the Healthy Longevity Clinic. The
fellow will be expected to execute an IRB-approved research project, contribute
to grant development, submit at least one peer-reviewed manuscript, and present
findings to executive leadership.
This position is designed for candidates with substantial prior research
training who seek advanced preparation for an academic, physician-scientist, or
translational research career. Applicants must demonstrate readiness to assume
meaningful responsibility for study development, execution, analysis, and
scientific dissemination.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate experience in:
* Clinical and translational research: Study design, protocol development,
clinical trial coordination or execution, and interpretation of research
findings.
* Scientific writing and productivity: A strong record of peer-reviewed
publications, preferably including first-author manuscripts, and experience
preparing scientific abstracts and presentations.
* Grant development: Contributions to competitive grant applications, including
specific aims, research strategy, and supporting scientific rationale.
* Regulatory and research operations: Familiarity with IRB submissions, Good
Clinical Practice, informed consent, human subjects protection, and research
data integrity
* Data analysis and outcomes assessment: Experience working with clinical
datasets, biostatistical teams, imaging, biomarkers, or patient-reported
outcomes.
* Relevant scientific disciplines: Aesthetic medicine, dermatology, surgery,
aging biology, regenerative medicine, or related translational fields.
* Independent and collaborative scholarship: Ability to advance projects with
increasing independence, manage competing priorities, and collaborate
effectively across specialties.
A Research Fellow position in Life Sciences (LS) will require knowledge of
either clinical-based research or laboratory-based research often obtained from
a postdoctoral program.
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. Upon background check and CCATS Executive Committee approval, Research
Fellow may have patient/research subject contact directly relating to and
incidental to the original research program. Proof of English proficiency is
required for J-1 Short-Term Scholars, Research Scholars, Professors,
Specialists, and Student Interns sponsored by Mayo Clinic.
QUALIFICATIONS
Applicants must hold a Ph.D, MD, MD-Ph.D, or equivalent doctoral degree in a
relevant discipline. Candidates with a Ph.D or combined MD-Ph.D are preferred.
MD applicants should demonstrate substantial formal research training and a
sustained record of scholarly productivity.
Prior research experience is required, supported by peer-reviewed publications
and clearly documented contributions to research projects. Competitive
applicants will demonstrate strong scientific writing, analytical skills, and a
clear commitment to an academic or research-focused career. Interest in
aesthetic medicine alone is insufficient without demonstrated research
accomplishments.
Research Fellow appointments are intended for individuals who have completed no
more than one prior postdoctoral fellowship at Mayo Clinic or elsewhere. This is
a research training appointment with structured clinical observation; any
patient or research-subject contact is subject to applicable institutional
approvals.
