Apply today! We are seeking enthusiastic and dedicated scientists at all levels to join our dynamic and growing lab. If you are passionate about chemical biology, drug discovery, protein/antibody engineering, immunotherapy, we invite you to become a part of our team. Our lab values collaboration, mentorship, diversity, and fun, and we strive to foster a positive culture within our scientific endeavors. Our current research priorities include:

  • Developing new technologies to identify and study protein PTMs and their associated enzymes in cellular environments at molecular, cellular, and systems levels.
  • Discovering new chemical and biological phenomena or mechanisms that lead to pathological phenotypes and using this knowledge to guide the development of next-generation immunotherapies.
  • Engineering small molecules (i.e., peptides) and biologics (i.e., proteins, enzymes, antibodies, and cells) to improve our understanding of diseases and to develop novel therapeutics.

We welcome new ideas from our team members. If you are ready to take the next step in your scientific career and make a meaningful impact in the field, apply now to join us in our mission to push the boundaries of research.

Graduate students are encouraged to reach out to Jie via jiezhou6[at]uchicago.edu.

Postdoctoral candidates are welcome to send Jie a CV and the contact information of two to three references.

We have open positions for research assistants. Ideal candidates should have an undergraduate degree in biology, chemistry, or a related field.

We warmly welcome inquiries from undergraduate students eager to immerse themselves in hands-on research.
