Graduate Research Appointment - Post-Baccalaureate Program

The Mayo Clinic Biomedical Ethics Research Program seeks applicants for a one to two-year post-baccalaureate research experience in empirical bioethics. This program is designed for individuals with a bachelor's degree and is particularly well suited for students seeking a gap year between undergraduate and graduate studies. Research assistants are expected to dedicate 40 hours a week to their research projects and related activities.

Through close collaboration with experienced bioethics researchers, research assistants gain skills in empirical research methods, study design, and data collection in a supportive team-based environment. Research assistants may also gain skills in qualitative and quantitative data analysis and scholarly writing. Research assistants will have the opportunity to participate in selected graduate classes and seminars while working in this role. Past trainees have gone on to study at graduate, medical and law schools across the United States.
