About this position
The Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, Department of Medicine, is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate for research led by Dr. Abou El Enein. The post is part of USC’s medical enterprise, Keck Medicine of USC, in Los Angeles.
The role centers on advanced cell engineering and translational research aimed at developing transformative therapies. The selected scholar will work on projects involving mammalian cell culture, gene engineering, and cell-based experimental systems, with particular emphasis on technologies such as CRISPR and base editing. The work also involves immunology-driven cell assay development and research in a highly applied therapeutic context.
Strong experience with viral and non-viral transduction methods is especially relevant, and the advert highlights cell therapy research as a significant advantage. The position is based in a clinical-academic environment that combines research, patient care, and state-of-the-art medical infrastructure across USC’s hospital and clinic network.
This is an on-site, fixed-term postdoctoral research appointment within a leading medical school setting, focused on cutting-edge experimental work in cell engineering and therapy development.
