Description

The University of Chicago's Department of Medicine, Section of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, is searching for faculty scientists at any rank, within the School of Medicine track, who will lead research contributing to the development of a translational program for digestive diseases.

In addition, appointees will perform comprehensive immune profiling using techniques such as flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing on human samples. Candidates will also guide other investigators in translational study design and facilitate recruitment as well as biospecimen collection for these studies. Other duties will include teaching, supervision of trainees and students, and relevant additional scholarly activity. Academic rank and compensation are dependent upon qualifications. These positions are benefits-eligible. The University of Chicago offers a wide range of benefits programs and resources for eligible employees, including health, retirement, and paid time off.
