Postdoctoral Fellow in Cardiac Diseases and Aging

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Xiaolei Xu, Marriott Family Professor in Cardiovascular Research, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Co-Director of the Cardiovascular Program, Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. The successful applicant will join a dynamic research team that leverages the powerful genetics of zebrafish and the African turquoise killifish to model human cardiovascular diseases, polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and cardiac aging. Our research aims to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying these conditions and to develop innovative therapeutic strategies. Applications are invited from candidates with a strong background in molecular biology, genetics, and/or animal models of human disease. Experience in cardiomyopathy, cellular senescence, cilia biology, PKD, and/or bioinformatics, particularly single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, is desirable but not required. The ideal candidate will be self‑motivated, intellectually curious, and committed to translational biomedical research. For further information about the position or research projects, please contact Dr. Xiaolei Xu at View email address on click.appcast.io. Additional information about the laboratory is available at: Mayo Clinic College of Medicine is a not-for-profit organization that integrates research with clinical practices and education in multi‑campus environment.
