| University of Chicago | Biomedical Informatics | Pediatrics | John Quackenbush | 12/31/2026 | Postdoctoral Fellow Position Open in the Laboratory for Network Medicine and Complex Systems Computational and Systems Biology The Laboratory for Network Medicine and Complex Systems, led by John Quackenbush in the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago, invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow to help build the next generation of computational methods for understanding complex biological systems, understanding the bridge between genotype and phenotype, and advancing precision network medicine. We are seeking an exceptional computational scientist who wants to be at the forefront of developing new methods and broadly used open-source software, and to help define the future of network biology. Our research group has pioneered many of the foundational methods for reconstructing gene regulatory networks, including PANDA, LIONESS, ALPACA, MONSTER, EGRET, DRAGON, PHOENIX, and other components of the NetZoo ecosystem. We are building a unified, interoperable platform for modeling regulatory networks across bulk, single-cell, spatial, temporal, and multiomic datasets. Our goal is not simply to infer biological networks, but to create the computational framework that enables understanding of how regulatory systems change during development, aging, and disease—and how those changes can be used therapeutically. The successful candidate will play a leading role in this effort by developing new statistical, machine learning, and artificial intelligence approaches for reconstructing, integrating, and interpreting biological networks. Scientific Vision We are pursuing an ambitious vision in which gene regulatory networks become a fundamental representation of biological state, enabling investigators to move beyond lists of genes toward predictive, mechanistic models of cellular behavior. Current research spans: • Gene regulatory network inference across bulk, single-cell, spatial, and multimodal data • Dynamic modeling of regulatory network rewiring during development, aging, and disease progression • AI and machine learning approaches for biological network reconstruction and interpretation • Identification of regulatory control nodes as candidate therapeutic targets • Multiomic integration across genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and spatial datasets • Understanding how biological sex and X/Y chromosomal differences drive sex-biased processes in health, disease, and aging. • Pseudotime modeling of disease trajectories • Foundation models for biological networks and regulatory systems • Scalable computational infrastructure for reproducible systems biology Our methods are developed in close partnership with a wide range of collaborators and are applied across a broad spectrum of cancer biology, pulmonary disease, network medicine, aging, and other complex diseases. Our Philosophy We are committed to open science, open-source software development, and reproducible research. Every method we develop is intended to become a robust community resource. We build software that is carefully engineered, thoroughly documented, extensively benchmarked, openly distributed, and designed for long-term sustainability. Reproducibility is not an afterthought—it is a core scientific principle that guides how we develop methods, evaluate algorithms, publish results, and disseminate software. Equally important is our culture of collaboration. We function as an integrated research team in which faculty, postdoctoral fellows, students, software engineers, and collaborators work together to solve challenging scientific problems. Fellows are expected to contribute not only to their own projects, but also to the broader intellectual life of our research ecosystem by participating in method development, software engineering, manuscript preparation, mentoring, code review, collaborative grant development, and scientific discussions. We believe that the most important advances emerge from teams whose members freely share ideas, expertise, and credit. The Opportunity This position offers an unusual opportunity to help shape a rapidly evolving field. The successful candidate will have considerable intellectual freedom to pursue innovative methodological research while contributing to the laboratory’s broader mission of transforming computational systems biology. Candidates will have opportunities to: • Develop new computational methods at the intersection of statistics, AI, and systems biology • Lead high-impact collaborative research projects • Publish in leading computational biology and biomedical journals • Present work at major international conferences • Contribute to widely used open-source software platforms • Mentor graduate and undergraduate trainees • Work to establish an independent research program and compete for fellowship and career development awards Dr. Quackenbush has a strong record of mentoring scientists who have gone on to successful careers at leading institutions in academia, industry, biotechnology, and biomedical research.
