Cedars-Sinai is a world-renowned institution, consistently ranked among the best in Los Angeles for obstetrics and gynecology. Our commitment to personalized, compassionate OB-GYN care is evident in our innovative research and cutting-edge treatments.

As a Research Director at Cedars-Sinai, you will be part of a vibrant community of researchers, clinicians, and innovators dedicated to advancing women's health and sex differences research. Join us in our pursuit of equitable healthcare and representation in the communities we serve.

Cedars-Sinai offers a competitive compensation package, including a base pay range that takes into account factors such as knowledge, skills, experience, and education. The ideal candidate will have a Doctorate (MD or PhD or both) with three or more years of experience in women's health research, evidence of research funding, national or international prominence, and demonstrated ability in research mentoring.
