Scope and Opportunity The University of Chicago's Biological Sciences Division is searching for full-time scientists , physician-scientists, and engineers who bring innovative experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches to bear on fundamental questions in biology, medicine, and public health . This search is focused on realizing the power and promise of AI and statistical modeling approaches for
biological sciences, capturing the full continuum from basic biological discovery to clinical translation and public health, including programs that bridge biophysics, computation, systems biology, bioengineering, and medicine. We especially welcome applicants who develop innovative approaches to investigate biological complexity and emergent properties at any scale—from biomolecular design, molecular systems, and
cellular physiology to cellular communities in tissues, organisms, and ecosystems. We welcome applicants who use quantitative and AI-driven methods to generate mechanistic insight, develop interpretable and predictive models, advance therapeutic and translational strategies for disease diagnosis, treatment, and management, or to develop new theory for biology. Academic rank, track, tenure status, and compensation are
dependent upon qualifications. P rimary appointments will be in appropriate departments or units, most likely in the Biological Sciences Division (BSD), though potentially in the Physical Sciences Division (PSD) or Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME), with possible secondary appointments in other relevant units depending on the candidates' research. 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. Information about the benefit offerings can be found in the Benefits Guidebook . Appointees will join a highly collaborative academic ecosystem in which outstanding basic science and clinical departments are co-located on a compact urban campus, with state-of-the-art core facilities,
exceptional graduate and medical students, and opportunities to participate in multidisciplinary research, translation, commercialization, and entrepreneurship, including Hyde Park Labs , a new hybrid facility for academic research, science-based companies and the UChicago Science Incubator. Research Priorities The goal of this search is to recruit a cluster of faculty who will establish a distinctive community in
