Chicago Scientists! So I'm looking to do some Biochem or Clinical research short term.

First off, sorry for posting to the main chicago subreddit. The jobs subreddit is kind of dead, and the UIC subreddit is pretty inactive. I figured this would be the next best place.

Anyways,

So I start med school at UIC in the fall and was looking to do something which will be more beneficial to me in the long run than my current job. I've got a pretty wide array or experiences from previous work in HIV, oncology, and IBD. I also have a masters in Biotechnology which gave a pretty good exposure to many different techniques associated with translational science. I can give more information on request.

I've been emailing a few of the professors in the UIC area, but I feel a lot of their webprofiles are severely out of date (but they are still publishing: Saw it on Pubmed) and thought I'd ask some of the folk on here as well.

Anyways, if any of you have some leads I'd be appreciate the daylights out of you.

I'm just a regular chemist but id suggest networking with your profs and sitting in on lectures of profs you might be interested in working for. Most profs I've known are fairly amenable to the idea of free labor. face to face is always the best for this kind of stuff.
