AI for Biology
Description
The University of Chicago’s Biological Sciences Division is seeking exceptional applicants for a division-wide faculty search in AI-Enabled Biology and Medicine.
https://apply.interfolio.com/190757
We seek scientists, physician-scientists, and engineers who bring innovative experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches to bear on fundamental questions in biology and medicine. This search is focused on realizing the power and promise of AI and statistical modeling approaches for biological sciences, capturing the full continuum from basic biological discovery to clinical translation, including programs that bridge biophysics, computation, systems biology, bioengineering, and medicine. This search is one of five division-wide searches intended to expand the scale and impact of biology and biomedical research at UChicago (see below).
We are particularly interested in candidates who develop innovative approaches to investigate biological complexity and emergent properties at any scale—from biomolecular design, molecular systems, and cellular physiology to cellular communities in tissues, organs, organisms, and ecosystems.
Successful candidates may use quantitative and AI-driven methods to generate mechanistic insights, develop interpretable and predictive models, advance therapeutic and translational strategies for disease diagnosis, treatment, and management, or develop new theory for biology.
This search is one of five coordinated, open-rank searches through which the Biological Sciences Division and UChicago Medicine, in collaboration with the Physical Sciences Division and the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, are recruiting a cohort of exceptional faculty to expand the scale, disciplinary breadth, and human impact of biomedical research at UChicago.
Please see full details here.

If appropriate, candidates should apply to multiple searches.
Applicants should submit materials through the University of Chicago’s Academic Recruitment portal. Application review will start 10/1/2026.
Division-Wide Recruitment Initiative
The Biological Sciences Division and UChicago Medicine, in collaboration with the Physical Sciences Division and the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, are recruiting a cohort of exceptional faculty to expand the scale, disciplinary breadth, and human impact of biomedical research at UChicago. These are open rank searches; both junior and senior candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates whose work spans more than one search area are encouraged to apply to multiple searches.
The five search areas are:
