Benefits Highlights Medical: Multiple plan options. Dental: Delta Dental or reimbursement account for flexible coverage. Vision: Affordable plan with national network. Pre‑Tax Savings: HSA and FSAs for eligible expenses. Retirement: Competitive retirement package to secure your future. Responsibilities Mayo Clinic's Department of Clinical Genomics, in collaboration with aligned departments and programs, seeks exceptional physicians and scientists, experts in the rapidly evolving field of genome editing and therapeutic delivery, to drive innovation at the intersection of discovery, translational, clinical research, and clinical practice to join our new and rapidly evolving Program in Precision Genomics: Interventional Therapeutics (PG-IT). The PG‑IT program at Mayo Clinic is a groundbreaking new initiative of highly innovative and creative scientists and physicians working collaboratively to advance next‑generation molecular therapies by delivering genetically targeted treatments in vivo. We are building an accomplished team of leaders including scientists driving innovation in genome editing and physicians who can deliver customized new and novel genetic therapies to the patients we serve. We seek candidates who excel in collaborative, team‑oriented environments and demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing genomic medicine for improved patient outcomes. Qualified candidates joining the PG‑IT program will collectively possess expertise in rare and complex disease genetics and genomics, clinical‑grade genomic sequencing, multi‑omic investigations, interventional human genetics, functional genomics, innovative molecular therapeutics, and human interventions and clinical trials, including single patient expanded access investigational new drug (IND) development processes. Our goals for the PG‑IT program include in vivo human gene editing for rare and inherited genetic disorders and complex human diseases, the acceleration of drug repurposing for genetically targeted indications, and identifying the most promising novel gene‑editing interventions to benefit patients. Successful candidates will lead, design, and implement innovative genomic and translational approaches that improve patient outcomes while driving forward to the next generation of therapeutic and diagnostic discovery.
