Department
BSD PED - Pediatric Genetics and Genomics
In the Department of Pediatrics, at the University of Chicago, we strive to provide the highest level of complex care for children from diagnosis and treatment to conducting research to find promising new therapies with a focus on teaching.
We are committed to advancing the frontiers of knowledge, and the education and training of future clinical pediatricians, subspecialists, educators, clinical investigators and physician-scientists. The Department of Pediatrics is a dynamic, stimulating place to work, and because we are focused on growth and improved excellence, our staff have particularly challenging and rewarding roles.
Job Summary
The University of Chicago’s Department of Pediatrics, Section of Genetics and Genomics in the Biological Sciences Division seeks a full-time Staff Scientist to support and advance an interdisciplinary research program focused on the genetic, genomic and molecular study of gene regulatory networks in developing organs, particularly cardiac development with respect to Congenital Heart Disease (CHD).
In cardiac development, we have identified an essential role for cilia-based Hedgehog signaling in cardiac progenitors, an essential aspect of mammalian cardiac development. Our studies have contributed to a paradigm shift in the understanding of cardiac morphogenesis, which is driven by events in cardiac progenitors rather than in the heart itself (e.g.
Hoffmann et al., 2009; Xie et al., 2012; Zhou et al., 2017). We have recently identified a surprising and novel role for Hedgehog signaling in developmental timing control that will be the basis of future projects (Rowton et al. 2020).
The incumbent’s primary activity will be academic research conducted in close collaboration with the Moskowitz Lab. The Research Staff Scientist will play a central role in analytic leadership, project coordination, and scientific development across multiple funded studies, including NIH-funded studies involving complex genetic, genomic and molecular study of gene regulatory networks in developing organs.
This position is designed for an individual who brings strong quantitative expertise alongside the ability to coordinate scientific workflows, ensure analytic rigor and reproducibility, and contribute substantively to manuscripts, grant applications, and long-term program development. The role offers opportunities for intellectual leadership, cross-institutional collaboration, and sustained involvement in a growing research portfolio.
