About the role

Biohub Chicago seeks outstanding early-career experimental scientists with expertise in high-throughput profiling and quantitative biology to join as a Postdoctoral Research Scholar working on single-cell genomics problems in the inflammation space.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work hands-on in a generously funded, highly collaborative environment at the intersection of technology development, bioengineering, and disease-focused discovery.
This role emphasizes both experimental rigor and computational fluency in the analysis of large-scale, high-dimensional datasets.

Design and execute quantitative, high-throughput experiments to investigate cellular heterogeneity and gene expression dynamics in immune and inflammatory systems.
Develop, optimize, and apply single-cell profiling workflows-including sequencing-based, imaging-based, or multimodal approaches-with rigorous method development, benchmarking, and quality control.
Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams spanning immunology, genomics, computation, and bioengineering to address open questions in inflammation biology.
Provides a generous employer match on employee 401(k) contributions to support planning for the future.
Relocation support for employees who need assistance moving

Experience with quantitative molecular and cell biology techniques and high-throughput profiling.
