Mayo Clinic nurse scientists conduct clinically based research to improve the health and well-being of patients and their caregivers across the life span.  At Mayo Clinic, you will be part of an amazing team committed to solving the most serious and complex health care challenges – one patient at a time. To learn more visit: Overview - Mayo Clinic Research. 

Nurse scientists engage with Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists from a variety of disciplines as well as with those external to Mayo Clinic to generate knowledge in fields that span the continuum of care. Mayo Clinic nurse scientists focus on generating symptom science, self-management science, and caregiving science to improve the health of patients with complex conditions. Mayo Clinic nurse scientists are expected to develop and sustain a focused program of research supported by competitive extramural federal/foundation funding sources as well as competitive intramural funding with evidence of a robust publication record in leading peer-reviewed journals in the field.
