Mayo Clinic Kidney Disease Research Training Program (T32 DK07013) The Kidney Disease Research Training Program at Mayo Clinic prepares biomedical and clinical scientists for independent investigative careers in academic nephrology and basic renal sciences. Trainees acquire an in-depth education in renal physiology, pathophysiology, or both, and skills in the appropriate basic or applied sciences. Both clinical and bench research training opportunities are available. The program consists of a mentored research training experience and a formal didactic series.
The faculty consists of full faculty members and associate faculty members drawn from the Nephrology Research Unit and other areas at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Faculty members have expertise in specialties including: Biochemistry and molecular biology, Health sciences research, Immunology, Nephrology, Pharmacology, Physiology and Biophysics, Urinary stone disease, and mineral metabolism. Appointees must have received a Ph.D., M.D. or comparable doctoral degree by the beginning date of the training grant appointment. M.D. graduates who have commenced or completed training in clinical nephrology and Ph.D. graduates can apply. There are three postdoctoral positions awarded to the Kidney Disease Research Training Program a year. The number of open positions varies.
