The Ji Lab at Loyola University Chicago (LUC) Helath Sciences Campus (HSC) focuses on regenerative niches for the remodeling of injured lungs. LUC/HSC is widely recognized for its exceptional, innovative, and collaborative research environment, and is investing significant resources in expanding interdisciplinary research in the computational, genomic, cellular, and molecular bases of pulmonary diseases. The Ji Lab is dedicated to applying state-of-the-art computational strategies to identify new molecular endotypes, biomarkers, and microbiota of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The lab is located on the LUC-Health Sciences Campus, in a suburban area of west Chicago. A Research Associate (postdoctoral research associate) is available immediately based on experience and expertise. The individual will identify and implement computational solutions, stem cell biology, bioinformatics, and biostatistics to ARDS (COVID-19) and sarcoidosis (lung cancer). They will be responsible for taking on highly interdisciplinary projects and key functions in this endeavor, including applying state-of-the-art techniques for basic and advanced analysis of both clinical and omics data. The ideal candidates will be highly motivated, well organized, manage time effectively, and can work independently as well as part of a team.
