About The Position

We are currently seeking a postdoctoral scientist for the Gynecological Research Laboratory located at Endeavor Health Skokie, IL— an educational affiliate of the University of Chicago. Qualified candidates will have the opportunity to attain University of Chicago credentials with the potential for promotion. The Department of Urogynecology has been investigating novel diagnostic methods, and conducted treatment studies for pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms such as urinary incontinence, constipation and pelvic organ prolapse.
