Are you a PhD holder interested in Postdoctoral Fellowships? Northwestern University, Illinois, United States is offering Postdoctoral Fellowships in various research fields. Apply today to pursue your research interests in a stimulating academic environment!
1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A postdoctoral researcher position on a NIH-funded project is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Damini Jawaheer at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology. The Jawaheer Lab focuses on multi-disciplinary translational research to determine how pregnancy induces a natural improvement of an incurable disease like rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
We use patient samples and clinical data from a unique pregnancy cohort established by Dr. Jawaheer (with multiple timepoints before and during pregnancy), and generate multi-omics data (bulk RNA-seq, single cell RNA-seq, DNA methylation) to examine transcriptional and epigenetic changes that occur over time during pregnancy and how those can influence autoimmune disease.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are hiring motivated computational or experimental biologists to join our team as postdoctoral scholars or research scientists to work on NIH-funded research projects generating and applying next-generation degron technologies for genome regulation (Morphic consortium project) or aberrant genome regulation in chemoresistance in cancer and other diseases.
Our work is highly interdisciplinary, spanning statistical genetics, genomics, epigenomics, bioinformatics, data integration, and visualization. Our funded projects utilize various functional genomic tools (CRISPR manipulation, RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, single cell multi-omics) and data analysis of diverse genomics data types.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This position offers an opportunity to work in the NIH-funded lab of Dr. Adam Sonabend, a neurosurgeon-scientist with a background in translational brain tumor research, the study of glioma progression, and regulation of transcription.
The Sonabend Lab has a strong translational emphasis and relies on patient tumor specimens and clinical data, transgenic mouse glioma models, next-generation sequencing data (ChIP-seq, exome sequencing, RNA-seq), and cutting-edge technologies such as whole genome CRISPR screens for advancing our projects. Most projects involve analysis of clinical-trial related specimens, where biological questions are investigated.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Qi Cao at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in the Department of Urology. The focus of Dr. Cao’s laboratory is to elucidate the role of epigenetic modifications in prostate cancer initiation/progression, utilizing both in vitro and in vivo model systems. The candidate will dissect the functions of epigenetic modifiers in cancer, using state-of-the-art technologies.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Northwestern University is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral scholar position. Candidates will work with Prof. Nick Diakopoulos from the Computational Journalism Lab (School of Communication) and Prof. Jeremy Gilbert from the Knight Lab (Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communication) to develop and advance a research agenda that will support the Generative AI in the Newsroom (GAIN) Initiative.
The research agenda is broadly scoped to research, prototype, and evaluate uses of generative AI in news production, such as in news discovery, content creation, dissemination, or audience interaction/consumption, as well as to develop research that connects technical developments with broader ethical, legal, and social implications in the practice of journalism and the wider media/technology ecology.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Join our interdisciplinary team to characterize the impact of the microbiome in novel mouse models where we study symptom mechanisms at the molecular, microbiologic, physiologic, and behavioral levels. We have reported differences in the GI microbiota of pelvic pain patients and developed novel murine models as platforms to dissect the mechanisms by which microbiota modulate pain and cognitive function. We now seek fellows interested in determining precisely how microglia transduce signals of specific bacteria to mediate the effects of the microbiome on pelvic pain and mood and exploiting this knowledge to develop novel therapies.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Pfenniger Lab in the Feinberg Cardiovascular and Renal Research Institute at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine invites highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates with PhDs and MD/PhDs seeking advanced training to apply for a full-time postdoctoral position basic/translational electrophysiological research. Our team investigates the molecular mechanisms contributing to the development of atrial fibrillation.
We leverage gene therapy as a tool to disrupt candidate signaling pathways in the atria of various pre-clinical models, to develop novel therapeutic strategies for this disease. These basic and translational studies use a range of approaches that includes the full spectrum of electrophysiology (whole organism – whole organ – tissue – single cell) in addition to molecular biology, genetics, and omics approaches.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Comprehensive Transplant Immunobiology Laboratory (CTIL) in the Division of Organ Transplantation at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Chicago seeks a postdoctoral fellow. The research in CTIL focuses on understanding the biology of endothelial cell injuries in donor organs in the context of ischemia-reperfusion injuries and organ transplantation and developing novel therapies. The basic and translational research studies use a range of genetic, cell, and molecular biology approaches, using in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro models.
