1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our lab’s research direction investigates the role of epigenetic regulation in bladder cancer initiation, both in normal homeostasis and in response to environmental and endogenous factors. Recent studies have revealed that carcinogenesis does not solely rely on DNA mutations but also involves significant epigenetic alterations. Our research has specifically highlighted how exposure to chemicals and irritants, such as those found in tobacco and industrial pollutants, contributes to bladder cancer through epigenetic reprogramming. It is now imperative to understand which cells within the bladder are most susceptible to these environmental triggers and the epigenetic mechanisms that drive them toward tumorigenesis.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our research focuses on infection by Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1), a retrovirus, and the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In addition to suppressing the immune system, rendering victims susceptible to opportunistic infections, HIV-1 can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause serious damage to the central nervous system, ultimately leading to a broad spectrum of disorders that range from mild impairment to severe HIV-associated dementia.

3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Medill Spiegel Research Center (SRC) is part of Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications. The mission of the center is to undertake evidence-based, data-driven, quantitative analysis to understand the relationship between customer engagement and financial outcomes. The Center’s research includes assessing the financial impact of consumer engagement behaviors relative to social media, mobile devices, customer reviews and ratings, loyalty programs, multi-vendor shopping platforms, and more.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. 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
5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary and collaborative team investigating biological questions ranging from basic human genome science to cancer genomics, focusing on chromatin biology. The candidates will regularly interact with experimental scientists to design new experiments and have the opportunity to test their hypotheses experimentally. The lab has deep expertise in CRISPR-based genome manipulation technologies and various functional genome mapping tools.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Neurological Surgery at Northwestern University is seeking outstanding postdoctoral scholars for expansion of basic and translational studies related to modulation of the blood-brain barrier to enhance passage of drugs, biologicals and cells for treatment of neurological diseases and brain cancer, precision medicine-based approaches to cancer drugs for gliomas, and the study of the effects of ultrasound therapy on the brain across species.

7. 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
8. 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
9. 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.
