Research Scientist, Staff

University of Southern California • Los Angeles, CA • 1d ago

The Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC is seeking a Research Scientist to lead research into ALS and related neurological diseases. The approach will be to generate in vitro models of human neurodegenerative diseases by converting patients' skin fibroblasts into disease-affected neural cells. This enables the screening of thousands of drug-like compounds in search of potential therapeutics that slow or stop the degeneration of these cells in petri dishes - and eventually in patients.

The Research Scientist will:

Serve as a key research scientist who is recognized as a national authority on topics in specialized field. Acts more independently and with a greater degree of freedom than senior research associate.

Plan, design and conduct highly specialized, technical and unusually complex research projects independently. Works under consultative direction from supervisor toward long-range goals and objectives. May contribute to the development of advanced new concepts, techniques and standards.

Analyze research data and provides interpretations. Contributes to the development of research documentation for publication and/or prepares technical reports, papers and/or records. Develops solutions to research problems of unusually complexity, which require a high degree of ingenuity, creativity and innovativeness. Makes presentations at academic and/or practitioner conferences.

Provide leadership, direction and guidance to staff and/or student workers as needed.

The annual base salary range for this position is $117,128.22 - $150,000.00. When extending an offer of employment, the University of Southern California considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate's work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, federal, state and local laws, contractual stipulations, grant funding, as well as external market and organizational considerations.

Minimum Education: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Minimum Experience: 5 years Minimum Skills: Directly related education and experience in research specialization with highly advanced knowledge of equipment, procedures, analysis methods, principles, theories and concepts. Demonstrated leadership in developing new ideas and ability to publish in appropriate academic and practitioner outlets. Demonstrated independent thinking and leadership in scholarly writing according established criteria (e.g., first-authored publications, conceptual leadership in the development of publications generated alone or with others, writing of first drafts of publications and/or single-authored publications).
