The Department of Cell & Developmental Biology in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of California, San Diego is conducting an open search for a Project Scientist position (non-tenured, Assistant, Associate or Full level). UC San Diego is seeking an experienced biologist in Cell & Developmental Biology or a related field to carry out both independent and collaborative research projects. Examples of research projects include but are not limited to: mechanisms of protein degradation, nucleocytoplasmic transport, and cell migration, gene expression, mechanisms that guide the morphogenesis of tissues, organs and organisms, stem cells in development and regeneration, with models ranging from yeast to mammals.

The University of California, San Diego is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff and student body and is seeking applicants for Project Scientist positions.

Under supervision of the Principal Investigators, the Project Scientists will function independently, and the role includes:

4) participating and presenting at scientific meetings;
5) writing scientific reports, manuscripts, grants for submission and/or publication.
