The results of a $3+1$ sterile neutrino search using eight years of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory are presented. A total of 305 735 muon neutrino events are analyzed in reconstructed energy-zenith space to test for signatures of a matter-enhanced oscillation that would occur given a sterile neutrino state with a mass-squared differences between 0.01 and $100{\mathrm{eV}}^2$. The best-fit point is found to be at ${\sin }^2\left(2{\theta }_{24}\right)=0.10$ and $\Delta m_{41}^2=4.5{\mathrm{eV}}^2$, which is consistent with the no sterile neutrino hypothesis with a $p$ value of 8.0%.
