Are you a physicist curious about patterns of forces in living tissues? A biologist who loves microscopy & the cytoskeleton? A theorist who wants to dissect rich, 3D morphodynamic datasets? An applied mathematician who loves image analysis?

We are always seeking driven and creative researchers to join us. We encourage applicants with backgrounds in diverse areas of science. We integrate experimental, computational, and analytical approaches from developmental biology and the physical sciences to develop quantitative models linking genes to organ shape change. We also aim to build an inclusive, supportive, & collaborative lab culture.

Postdoctoral candidates should contact Noah directly, but may also refer to the CLS Fellowship, NITMB Fellowship, Chicago Fellowship, and Grainger Fellowship.

For graduate studies at UChicago, check out the PhD programs in Biophysics, Biosciences, Physics, and Molecular Engineering. Students already enrolled in any of these programs —or others— should contact Noah about joining the group. 

Post-bacc/technician candidates should contact Noah directly and are considered through the CMDB post-bacc program. 

We have limited spots for undergraduate researchers as well. Contact Noah directly.

The NSF Physics Frontier Center for Living Systems and National Institute for Mathematics and Biology support a rich research and training environment. Trainees benefit from inter-departmental (and institutional) collaborations to pursue questions at the interface of physics, mathematics, and biology.  Connections between theory and experiment are highly valued.
