Located on Chicago’s vibrantly multicultural North Side, LUC is committed to creating an inclusive, responsive community of faculty, students, and staff.

This faculty member will also teach a total of two courses per semester in general genetics, genomics, and more advanced courses in their specialty area. Researchers in all areas of genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, or a related discipline are welcome to apply.
Requirements include a PhD in genetics or a related field, postdoctoral research experience, proven excellence in research, and experience teaching at the college level.
