1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our lab’s research direction investigates the role of epigenetic regulation in bladder cancer initiation, both in normal homeostasis and in response to environmental and endogenous factors. Recent studies have revealed that carcinogenesis does not solely rely on DNA mutations but also involves significant epigenetic alterations. Our research has specifically highlighted how exposure to chemicals and irritants, such as those found in tobacco and industrial pollutants, contributes to bladder cancer through epigenetic reprogramming.

2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our research focuses on infection by Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1), a retrovirus, and the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In addition to suppressing the immune system, rendering victims susceptible to opportunistic infections, HIV-1 can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause serious damage to the central nervous system, ultimately leading to a broad spectrum of disorders that range from mild impairment to severe HIV-associated dementia.

3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Center is looking for a highly skilled researcher capable of working on a breadth of research projects in a collaborative environment, with the goal of producing original, meaningful, and impactful research in the field of customer engagement. The ideal candidate has strong analytical, quantitative, and communications skills. Experience with statistical tools (e.g., R, Python, SPSS, SAS, Stata) is critical. Candidates will have the opportunity to work with industry partners on applied research projects, but the main primary focus of this role will be to collaborate on scholarly papers for publication in leading academic journals. Previous postdoctoral fellows have moved into tenure-line positions at R1 universities, as well as industry roles.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A postdoctoral researcher position on a NIH-funded project is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Damini Jawaheer at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology. The Jawaheer Lab focuses on multi-disciplinary translational research to determine how pregnancy induces a natural improvement of an incurable disease like rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We use patient samples and clinical data from a unique pregnancy cohort established by Dr. Jawaheer (with multiple timepoints before and during pregnancy), and generate multi-omics data (bulk RNA-seq, single cell RNA-seq, DNA methylation) to examine transcriptional and epigenetic changes that occur over time during pregnancy and how those can influence autoimmune disease.

5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are hiring motivated computational or experimental biologists to join our team as postdoctoral scholars or research scientists to work on NIH-funded research projects generating and applying next-generation degron technologies for genome regulation (Morphic consortium project) or aberrant genome regulation in chemoresistance in cancer and other diseases. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, spanning statistical genetics, genomics, epigenomics, bioinformatics, data integration, and visualization. Our funded projects utilize various functional genomic tools (CRISPR manipulation, RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, single cell multi-omics) and data analysis of diverse genomics data types.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This position offers an opportunity to work in the NIH-funded lab of Dr. Adam Sonabend, a neurosurgeon-scientist with a background in translational brain tumor research, the study of glioma progression, and regulation of transcription. The Sonabend Lab has a strong translational emphasis and relies on patient tumor specimens and clinical data, transgenic mouse glioma models, next-generation sequencing data (ChIP-seq, exome sequencing, RNA-seq), and cutting-edge technologies such as whole genome CRISPR screens for advancing our projects. Most projects involve analysis of clinical-trial related specimens, where biological questions are investigated.
