Our philosophy and approach within the Engel Group

Science is a human endeavor. Our science is only as good as our people so we are always looking for talented, bold, and driven scientists to join our group. The Engel Group prides itself in its Science, but also in the training environment and how we help to launch the careers of our students. The University of Chicago provides an engaging and exciting intellectual environment. The Institutes on campus provide interdisciplinary opportunities, and the departments provide rigorous and classic training. Our group exploits all these resources to produce the best science and the best people.
