The Bridge to Faculty Scholars (B2F) Program is a UIC postdoctoral program designed to recruit individuals from diverse backgrounds, with the goal of transitioning them to tenure-track faculty positions after two years (https://diversity.uic.edu/faculty/bridge-to-faculty/). This recruitment initiative aims to attract and retain promising scholars to UIC, as well as diversify our faculty to better serve the cultural wealth of our students, our community, and the nation. We are seeking innovative and collaborative individuals pursuing fundamental or translational aspects of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogenesis, host responses to infection, and immunology. Applicants should be outstanding in their chosen area and have a strong collaborative interest with current MI faculty and those found elsewhere at UIC and in the Chicago region. Individuals whose research interests encompass health disparities, women’s health or sex differences are especially encouraged to apply. The Department of Microbiology and Immunology serves as the center of basic research and training in infectious disease, host-pathogen interactions, and immunology at UIC. The mission of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology is to conduct outstanding research on the biology, transmission and pathogenesis of viruses, bacteria, and fungi, as well as on the fundamental immune mechanisms that contribute to both health and disease. There are currently seventeen faculty members within the department who study diverse biological questions, ranging from autoimmunity, cell death in the immune system and the selection of immune repertoire, emerging and persistent bacterial and viral pathogens, the role of the microbiome in disease, and the development of anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer therapeutics and vaccines, using state-of-the-art approaches. This includes research on important human pathogens such as Salmonella, Acinetobacter, Staphylococcus, HIV, influenza, herpesviruses and emerging viruses like SARS-CoV-2, dengue virus, West Nile virus, Zika virus, Nipah virus and arenaviruses. We offer an intellectually exciting, collegial and supportive environment with robust graduate, physician scientist, and post-doctoral training programs, as well as extensive opportunities for interdisciplinary and interdepartmental collaboration. In particular, the department has an established postdoctoral mentoring program, which includes bi-weekly sessions providing extensive feedback on oral presentations and written proposals. Resources include outstanding core facilities for DNA/RNA sequencing and genomics, imaging, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, structural analyses and automated drug screening.

| University of Nebraska-Lincoln | Engineering Education Research | Engineering Education Research | Heidi Diefes-Dux, Grace Panther, Logan Perry, Jessica Deters | 02/16/2025 | The Discipline-Based Education Research in Engineering (DBER-E) faculty group in the College of Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is accepting applications for a cohort of three Postdoctoral Fellows for the NSF funded 3-Cs DBER-E Fellows Program (Award #2430498). The overarching goal of this two-year postdoctoral fellowship program is to provide participants with the training and practice necessary to navigate the early years of an engineering faculty career. More specifically, the program is designed to train individuals who consciously and confidently span the disciplinary boundaries between engineering education, engineering, social sciences, and DBER (in STEM more broadly) using effective communication, collaboration, and coordination (3-Cs) skills to elevate research, teaching, and service activity in traditional engineering academic settings. As a cohort, fellows will join a thriving DBER-E community in which the faculty are embedded in their disciplinary departments. At the completion of this program, fellows will be prepared to apply for faculty positions where they will be engineering education researchers embedded within engineering disciplines. It is expected that during Year 1, the fellows will spend most of their time working on a structured research project with one of the DBER-E mentors while developing a plan for an independent, DBER-E project that they can execute during their two-year fellowship. In Year 2, fellows will: (1) launch their research agenda with a project that will put them on an accelerated track to research funding success, (2) build boundary spanning skills while working with one or more faculty in the engineering departments to conduct research, and (3) generate preliminary data for an early-career grant proposal (e.g., NSF CAREER, IUSE, RFE, etc.). Fellows will receive a competitive compensation package that includes benefits, travel to a national conference each year, travel to an international conference in year 2, up to $6,000 in moving expenses, and computer and supplies.
