About this position

The Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology at the University of Southern California’s Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar - Research Associate to join the laboratory of Dr. Yang Chai.

The Chai Lab investigates the regulation of developmental patterning, organogenesis, stem cells, and regenerative medicine, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal craniofacial development. The overarching aim is to generate scientific understanding that can inform future therapeutic strategies for preventing and treating craniofacial birth defects and advancing stem cell-based craniofacial regenerative medicine.

The position is based at USC’s Health Sciences Campus within CCMB, described as a highly collaborative and interactive research environment. Postdoctoral researchers will take part in weekly seminars with other scientists working in developmental biology and stem cells in tissue regeneration, and will have opportunities for cross-training in related areas such as bioinformatics, biomedical engineering, and translational medicine. The lab also offers opportunities to collaborate with experts nationally and internationally.

The role is research-intensive and includes working on complex projects under supervision, contributing to experimental design, data analysis, literature review, and scientific reporting. The successful candidate will also work with advanced laboratory methods and instrumentation used in immunology, molecular genetics, flow cytometry, microbiology, nucleic acid isolation, PCR-based assays, immunohistochemistry, tissue microarray, and digital image analysis.

The project is supported by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and is described as grant funded and fixed term, with potential for renewal.

Funding details

Grant-funded, fixed-term position with potential for renewal; annual base salary range $68,500-$72,500.

What's required

Ph.D. required. Experience in molecular and developmental biology is required. Familiarity with advanced laboratory methods including DNA/RNA isolation from FFPE tissues, RT-qPCR, RT2 Profiler PCR Array, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, tissue microarray, and digital image analysis is emphasized.

How to apply

Send your CV and three letters of recommendation to Dr. Yang Chai via Ms. Stephanie Jones at [email protected] and [email protected]. Apply through the USC Workday posting link provided in the advert if needed for the formal application process.
