Operating since 1927 on a
strong foundation of multidisciplinary clinical and academic excellence, the
University of Chicago Department of Surgery's mission is to meet the most
challenging and complex health problems on both a local and global scale.
Among the Department's
numerous accomplishments, many of our faculty members are known for their
contributions to the advancement of groundbreaking surgical procedures and
techniques, including minimally invasive surgery. In addition to our
department's clinical work, our scientists aggressively pursue a diverse range
of basic, translational and clinical research projects, including studies on the
gut microbiome, tissue bioengineering, stem cell research, cancer and
immunotolerance.
This ongoing work and
achievement would not be possible without the cohesive effort and commitment of
the faculty and staff. We are looking for high energy, collaborative
individuals who share our commitment to improving the health of patients in the
community and beyond.
