Biohub, Chicago, Illinois, United States, 60290
Postdoctoral Fellow, Molecular Biology (Proteoform Spatial Biology Group)
– Biohub About Biohub
Biohub is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research institute that brings together Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to accelerate discoveries in biology and medicine. Guided by values of scholarly excellence, disruptive innovation, and open communication, Biohub supports engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to develop breakthrough technologies and therapies. Opportunity
Biohub seeks an outstanding early‑career scientist to join and help launch the Proteoform Spatial Biology Group as a
Postdoctoral Fellow in Molecular Biology . The group focuses on uncovering the spatiotemporal regulation of proteins and their proteoforms in inflammation and autoimmunity, using primary human cell cultures and single‑cell nucleic acid sequencing–based assays. What You’ll Do
Culture, stimulate, and analyze human T‑cells from primary sources and immortalized cell lines Design and execute spatial proteomic studies of inflammation and immune dysregulation using nucleic acid sequencing techniques Analyze and interpret results, contributing to collaborative datasets, manuscripts, and analyses Present findings internally and externally Co‑author publications What You’ll Bring
Essential
PhD in molecular biology, immunology, bioengineering, or related field Hands‑on experience culturing and manipulating primary human T‑cells and immune cell lines Proficiency with cytokine stimulation and immune functional assays Strong experimental design and troubleshooting skills Experience with nucleic acid sequencing assays (e.g., molecular barcoding, library prep for single‑cell RNA sequencing) Ability to plan, execute, and troubleshoot complex experiments Ability to work collaboratively and independently Nice to Have
Familiarity with single‑cell technologies Data analysis skills in R or Python Experience coordinating cross‑lab collaborations Experience in protein engineering or site‑directed mutagenesis Experience with mass spectrometry and/or imaging‑based proteomics Compensation
The Chicago, IL base pay range for this role is $84,150.00. Benefits
Employer match on employee 401(k) contributions Paid time off to volunteer at an organization of your choice Funding for select family‑forming benefits Relocation support for employees who need assistance moving Even if your prior experience does not perfectly align with each qualification, we encourage you to apply as you may be a perfect fit for this or another role at Biohub.
