UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center Tenure Track Assistant to Associate Professor

The Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research (Broad Stem Cell Research Center [BSCRC]) at UCLA is recruiting new faculty (assistant to associate professor) working in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. The positions are state-supported, tenure-track/tenured professorships with a guaranteed salary base, outstanding fringe benefits, and substantial start-up funds. Candidates must have a doctorate or medical degree in biomedical or related scientific fields, or an MD or equivalent degree. Applicants with basic research interests in stem cell biology, organ development, tissue regeneration, and stem cell aging, as well as those with a more clinical translational focus on stem cell therapeutics and regenerative medicine are encouraged to apply.

The BSCRC is a multidisciplinary, integrated collaboration of scientific and medical disciplines committed to revolutionizing the treatment of disease through personalized cellular therapies and regenerative medicine. The Center supports innovation, excellence, and the highest ethical standards focused on education and research to drive groundbreaking stem cell discoveries from the laboratory to the patient.
