The University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) and Biological Sciences Division (BSD) seek applications for a jointly appointed faculty member at any rank. This is a broad area search and invites applicants whose cross-disciplinary research programs seek to drive fundamental and translational advances in medicine and bioengineering.

The appointee will hold a primary appointment in either the PME or BSD and a secondary appointment in the BSD or PME. The appointee will be expected to establish and maintain a robust research program and teach at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Academic rank, tenure status, and compensation are dependent upon qualifications.

About the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Biological Sciences Division

The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering was launched in 2011 with the aim of translating molecular science into solutions with impact in health and immunology, quantum information technology, and environmental sustainability. PME aims to solve important societal problems by creating synergy and collaborations across disciplines. The PME currently has forty-six faculty engaged in both fundamental and applied aspects of molecular engineering and will continue to expand in size over the next decade. PME is organized along three Institutes, where the Immunoengineering and Bioengineering Institute with sixteen faculty work in areas including immunophysiology, vaccine technologies, cell and tissue engineering, systems and computational biology, microbiome engineering, development of high throughput methods (single cell proteomics, microfluidics, high content imaging), quantum biology, protein engineering, automated and autonomous labs, among others. PME faculty interact closely with numerous centers and departments within the BSD as well as in the broader research ecosystem of the Chicagoland area, including Argonne National Laboratory, Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Chicago, and Hyde Park Labs. PME has joint research programs with Divisions across the University of Chicago campus.

The Biological Sciences Division includes thirteen research-intensive clinical departments, ten basic science departments, and numerous interdisciplinary and cross-divisional graduate programs, institutes, and centers. It incorporates both the Pritzker School of Medicine and all undergraduate and graduate programs within the biological sciences, forming a single academic and administrative unit to provide a favorable environment for research and the training of researchers through extensive support and encouragement of collaborations between clinical, translational and basic science faculty. The BSD maintains a strong tradition of multidisciplinary and interdepartmental interaction, which augments its educational and research endeavors. The BSD hosts a number of research institutes (e.g., Duchossois Family Institute; Institute for Biophysical Dynamics; Institute for Genomics & Systems Biology; Institute for Integrative Physiology), centers (University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center; Grossman Center for Quantitative Biology & Human Behavior; Chicago Diabetes Research & Training Center) and unique interdepartmental graduate committees structured along programmatic rather than departmental lines. The BSD provides outstanding facilities and an environment for education and research including the Gordon Center for Integrative Science and the Knapp Center for Biomedical Discovery. The unique organization of the Pritzker School of Medicine within the BSD benefits both the students and faculty by offering opportunities for interdisciplinary research and collaboration between the basic science and clinical faculty, and for the faculty to teach in the Division and the medical school.

This position is 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.
