About this opportunity

The CBC Entrepreneurial Fellows (EF) Award program identifies and supports the professional development of junior life sciences researchers who are keen to develop the skills and experiences needed to move translational projects from a university lab toward commercialization and potentially into a Chicago-based biotech start-up. The program exposes Fellows to a breadth of real-world experiences across the CBC institutions and connects trainees to the Chicago biomedical community. Fellows will work with CBC university investigators in preparing proposals with translational potential, be exposed to all aspects of drug discovery and early development including development of investment thesis and competitive positioning, project plans, timelines, budgets, regulatory requirements, and clinical strategies. The program cultivates a drug discovery culture at the CBC universities by participating actively in CBC-sponsored events, symposia, workshops and review panels. The fellowship provides a salary of $85,000 with fringe benefits, travel funds, and office space. Appointments are for 12 months but can be renewed for an additional 12 months upon mutual agreement. This is a full-time position that requires working across Northwestern University, University of Illinois Chicago, and University of Chicago.
