18 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Illinois at Chicago, United States

We are searching for highly motivated postdoctoral researchers with an Ph.D. or MD/PhD in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field obtained within the last 10 years to join our team. The ideal candidates should be familiar with cell biology, molecular biology and immunology research, but those without prior experience will also be considered. The position involves conducting specialized experiments focused on intestinal inflammation and regeneration, mucosal immunity, the microbiome, and inflammatory bowel disease. The trainees will collaborate with a talented group of researchers and work on exciting and NIH-supported research projects aimed at understanding the mechanisms underlying these areas. The position offers excellent training opportunities, and the candidate will independently plan, direct, and execute advanced research experiments using cutting-edge in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro techniques, such as scRNAseq, organoid culture, multi-omics data and metabolic analysis, 16S RNA sequencing, multiple channel RNAscope in situ hybridization, and various genetically modified mouse model and gnotobiotic mouse model. The ideal candidates should be self-motivated, curious, and interested in working collaboratively with the team. This is an exceptional opportunity for a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher to advance their career in the field of intestinal biology and mucosal immunology.

The Department of Civil, Materials, and Environmental Engineering (CME) at the University of Illinois Chicago invites applicants for a Bridge to Faculty Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Materials Engineering beginning on August 16, 2024.

The Bridge to Faculty (B2F) Scholars Program is a university-level initiative that aims to attract and retain promising scholars to UIC as well as diversify our faculty, with an emphasis on scholars from groups who are underrepresented in their field. To achieve this, the program operates through recruitment of postdoctoral scholars, with the goal of transitioning them to tenure-track faculty positions after two years.  For more information on the B2F program, please visit https://diversity.uic.edu/faculty/bridge-to-faculty/.

Our goal is to attract world-class scholars to enrich the educational experience of our bright and motivated students. We believe that our department’s scholarship and teaching is enhanced through the inclusion of diverse perspectives. UIC is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse faculty, committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment, and we strongly encourage applications for this position from women and members of underrepresented identity groups.

This Postdoctoral Research Associate conducts research in the area of machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and rural medicine. This innovative role will combine the expertise from the nationally and internationally recognized Rural Medical Education Program (RMED), housed in the NRHP, at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford with a mentor and support from CHEMA.

 

The Postdoctoral Research Associate will also be affiliated CHEMA and expected to participate in monthly seminars with other postdoctoral research associates in the UIC College of Medicine. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will have a mentoring committee that includes faculty and experts from the fields of rural health AI/ML, family and community medicine, and research design/analysis to support professional development. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will also participate in a research mentorship program including writing groups to provide support for grant submissions for all types of awards offered at the Rockford and Chicago campuses.

The Bridge to the Faculty Postdoctoral Research Associate program seeks to advance diversity at the faculty level by encouraging the recruitment, retention, and promotion of outstanding scholars from different and varied backgrounds, with an emphasis on attracting individuals from groups who have been historically underrepresented in their field. The goal of this program is to recruit, mentor, and support the transition of outstanding candidates from postdoctoral assignments to active tenure track faculty members. The Department of Human Development Nursing Science is committed to establishing and maintaining an inclusive and affirming environment for students, staff, and faculty. As a result, diverse and inclusive workplaces earn deeper trust and more commitment from their students and employees and promote better relationships and more caring interactions with current and future patients, research participants, and communities. In addition to mentorship within the Department of Human Development Nursing Science, the B2F Postdoctoral Research Associate will participate in a cohort-based mentoring experience through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Engagement, where they will have the opportunity to meet other B2F Scholars. We seek a Bridge to Faculty Postdoctoral Research Associate for the Academic Year 2024-2025. Subject to satisfactory performance, and University approval, you may be re-appointed for one additional year. Successful postdocs in the Bridge to the Faculty program may have the opportunity to transition to tenure-track faculty at UIC starting in the 2026-2027 academic year.
