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.

Two postdoctoral research associate positions are available in the Multiscale Materials and Manufacturing Laboratory (M3L) at University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). This is a joint position between UIC and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) seeking fresh PhDs with expertise in computational materials modeling informed machine learning approach development for high-performance computing (HPC) environment. A Ph.D. in appropriate engineering or physical science discipline closely related to this area of research is required. HPC resources at the UIC and ANL will be utilized for massively parallel simulations and training of generative AI models. Physics-informed machine learning approach will be used to predict material evolution under thermomechanical, electro-thermal, and electrochemical conditions. The position will be annually renewable depending on performance with a strong chance for growth, high-impact publications, and opportunities to interact with academia and national labs.

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. JP Jin in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Research in the lab focuses on protein structure-function relationships and protein and peptide engineering for biomedical applications. A broad range of experiments and methodology area applied. The recruit will have the opportunity to lead a project focusing on malaria vaccine development with a unique potential to develop a productive career.

Department of Surgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago is seeking highly motivated and energetic applicants for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate position. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will be responsible for overall scientific management of research projects. Our research focus is molecular genetics and epigenetics of Lung cancer and development of biomarkers for lung cancer prognosis and diagnosis. The experimental procedures include genetics, epigenetics, molecular biology, and cellular biology

The Rehab. Robotics Lab invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research on wearable robot co-adaptation. Join our dynamic, interdisciplinary team of undergraduate and graduate students, post-doc, and faculty, and engage in impactful research that pushes the boundaries in Rehab. Robotics Lab (https://rehab-robotics.lab.uic.edu/).

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Kaori Yamada in the Department of Pharmacology & Regenerative Medicine in the College of Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The Yamada laboratory studies the mechanisms of the trafficking of signaling molecules, such as the receptor for the growth factor, which regulates angiogenesis and vascular leakage. The regulation of receptor trafficking is a novel concept for angiogenesis-related and vascular-leakage-related diseases such as cancer growth, cancer metastasis, and eye diseases (diabetic retinopathy and wet AMD). Using mouse models, cell biology, and molecular biology techniques, we are defining the mechanisms of pathological angiogenesis and vascular leakage in these diseases.

This position conducts research by preparing literature reviews and assisting with the collection, entering, coding and cleaning of data and descriptive results.

This position will play a pivotal role in designing, implementing, and analyzing research projects focused on identifying and addressing health disparities using AI and ML methodologies. This includes collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of researchers utilizing state-of-the-art resources.

We have an opening for Postdoctoral Research Associate in RNA research and functional genomics. This position is available immediately. The researcher will study RNA expression regulation, especially focusing on dysregulated genes in cancer development and progression. We are particularly interested in combining bioinformatics, high-throughput multi-omics approaches such as RNA-seq, CRISPR screening, single cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, as well as standard molecular biology techniques to characterize gene expression regulation at the molecular and cellular levels. Moreover, our lab is also interested in using RNA expression profiles as molecular biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis.

The Department of Surgery, Dr. Basabi Rana’s Lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate. This position requires a Ph.D. in Cancer Biology (or a related field) with related scientific training.

In addition, other essential skills will include elucidating at a molecular level the role of various novel upstream signaling molecules regulating growth, apoptosis, and survival in cancer cells, with particular focus on hepatocellular carcinoma and other gastrointestinal cancers. The detailed mechanism by which these molecules interact with each other to mediate cancer progression and therapy-resistance and how these pathways are activated will also be studied.
