Responsibilities

Mayo Clinic seeks applicants for a one- or two-year post-baccalaureate research experience in empirical bioethics research, as part of the Graduate Research Employment Program (GREP).

The Graduate Research Employment Program (GREP) is a post-baccalaureate program for participants with an interest in biomedical research. The primary purpose of GREP is to provide a post-baccalaureate laboratory research experience that applies skills in science, technology, engineering or math to biomedical research including basic science or translational research. GREP participants gain research experience that may help them to decide on a career path related to biomedical research. In addition, the experience can increase the participants’ competitiveness and preparation for the next step in their career. These goals are achieved by providing:

• A mentored research experience in a world-class biomedical research laboratory

• Opportunities to participate in selected graduate classes and seminars

• Career development, mentoring and networking opportunities

• Presentation opportunities

The Biomedical Ethics GREP program is designed for individuals with a bachelor's degree who have an interest in conducting research on topics in bioethics using empirical methods (surveys, interviews, focus groups, chart review). GREP trainees are also eligible to take courses through the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and shadow clinicians in nearly every area of the clinic. Past trainees have gone on to study at graduate, medical, and law schools across the United States.

Up to two candidates will be selected to begin in Summer 2025. The application deadline is 11:59pm CST February 17, 2025.

Candidates must attach the following to the application:

• Cover letter describing career goals and how biomedical ethics research relates to those goals

• Resume/CV

• 5-10 page writing sample, preferably on a topic in biomedical ethics

• Current, unofficial college transcript

• Two letters of recommendation from research mentors or undergraduate professors sent directly to Dr. Richard Sharp at bioethics@mayo.edu
