Research Fellow-Artificial Intelligence and Informatics

The research laboratory of Dr. Garg in the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics is seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to join an interdisciplinary program at the forefront of healthcare AI innovation. This role focuses on developing and deploying cutting-edge artificial intelligence methodologies, including ontology-driven knowledge representation frameworks, advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), agentic AI systems, multimodal deep learning to address complex biomedical and clinical challenges across translational research and patient care.

The Research Fellow will play a central role in advancing AI-driven discovery, contributing to the design of scalable, agent-based architectures for clinical reasoning, virtual trial, and AI-based clinical decision support, while also developing and evaluating biomedical ontologies that enable interoperable, computable, and semantically rich data integration. This work will support explainable, reproducible, and mechanism-aware AI systems that bridge foundational research with real-world clinical applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics, along with a demonstrated interest in applying computational methods to improve healthcare outcomes.

During the selection process you may participate in an OnDemand (pre-recorded) interview that you can complete at your convenience. During the OnDemand interview, a question will appear on your screen, and you will have time to consider each question before responding. You will have the opportunity to re-record your answer to each question - Mayo Clinic will only see the final recording. The complete interview will be reviewed by a Mayo Clinic staff member, and you will be notified of next steps.

Must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral degree in a field deemed relevant by the program. Research Fellow is appropriate for individuals who have completed no more than one prior postdoctoral fellowship, at Mayo Clinic or elsewhere.
