About this position
USC’s Keck School of Medicine, Department of Medicine, is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate to join Dr. Abou El Enein’s research team. The position centers on advanced cell engineering research with a strong translational focus, where the postdoctoral scholar will contribute to projects aimed at developing transformative therapies.
The work is especially relevant to mammalian cell culture and gene engineering technologies, including CRISPR and base editing. The role also emphasizes immunology and cell-based assays, alongside viral and non-viral transduction methods. Candidates with experience in cell therapy research will be working in a setting that bridges fundamental cell manipulation with therapeutic development.
The posting also highlights strong background areas such as cancer or stem cell biology and therapy using in vitro and in vivo models, reflecting the broader scientific context of the project. The appointment is within a major medical school environment at the University of Southern California, part of a large research university in Los Angeles with a dynamic and diverse research community.
