Help advance the Well Living Lab’s mission: to expand scientific and practical understanding of how indoor environments and human behavior interact to impact health and well-being.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead Research Development – Generate research ideas, design and execute protocols, and write proposals for external grant funding.
  • Data Oversight – Direct data collection, management, and analysis using advanced statistical methods; ensure data quality and integrity.
  • Publication & Communication – Prepare manuscripts, presentations, and reports; publish original research in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Collaboration – Work closely with Mayo Clinic scientists, external research organizations, and industry partners. Serve as a scientific lead or co-lead on Well Living Lab (WLL) projects.
  • Integration & Innovation – Align WLL research with broader health and building science platforms; stay current on literature and emerging trends.
  • Team Engagement – Collaborate daily with multidisciplinary researchers, technology and operations staff, and academic/industry partners.

You would be a great fit if:

  • PhD in a field related to the built environment or systems.
  • Minimum 5 years of post-doctoral or equivalent experience in human-centered research within the built environment.
  • Expertise in HVAC and environmental controls/engineering and their impact on human health.
  • Strong background in experimental design, simulation, and data analysis (including large datasets and statistical programming).
  • Proven success in grant writing, IRB submissions, and managing research protocols.
  • Track record of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
  • Experience leading research projects and teams, with excellent organizational and project management skills.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate across disciplines with flexibility and a positive attitude.
Bonus points:

  • Active involvement in professional organizations (ASHRAE, ASID, AIA, etc.).
  • Knowledge of building science instrumentation (temperature, RH, PM, VOC sensors) and calibration/QA protocols.
  • Familiarity with LabVIEW, MATLAB, or Python for instrument control and data analysis.
  • Ability to interpret and apply building engineering standards (ASHRAE, ASTM, ISO, LEED, WELL).
  • Strong professional network and commitment to staying current on trends in building science, indoor environmental quality, and human-centered design.
Note: This position requires the ability to access U.S. military installations. As a result, employment is contingent upon meeting all applicable federal eligibility requirements, including U.S. citizenship.

Benefits offered include:
