Responsibilities

PathAssist is a cutting-edge initiative at Mayo Clinic that uses artificial intelligence to democratize diagnostic expertise in pathology. By leveraging Mayo’s vast data ecosystem—including millions of whole slide images, laboratory information system data, and clinical notes—the project aims to develop an AI-driven tool that recommends optimal diagnostic stains and molecular tests using principles of information theory.

The Research Associate/Data Science Analyst will play a key role in developing, training, and validating advanced multimodal AI models that integrate digital pathology, clinical text, and population health data. This role involves hands-on data curation, probabilistic and self-supervised model development, statistical performance evaluation, and interdisciplinary collaboration with physicians and scientists in computational pathology and informatics. Ideal candidates combine strong programming and analytical skills with curiosity about medical AI, digital pathology, and the future of diagnostic decision support.

A Research Associate 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. Requires at least three years of postdoctoral research experience at Mayo Clinic or elsewhere. The position is considered non-exempt (hourly), and therefore, all hours worked must be recorded.

A Research Associate at Mayo Clinic is a temporary transitional role with the primary purpose to allow qualified individuals to work within an established investigator's program in preparation for an academic and/or independent research career. The ability to perform specialized or complex functions would typically be demonstrated through review of scientific accomplishments, contributions, and peer-reviewed publications averaging at least one per year post doctoral degree. The Research Associate is expected to provide leadership support and training within an established research program.
