Cost Analysis & Procurement: Source raw materials and calculate formulation costs independently, as you will not have a dedicated procurement or costing team to rely on.

Pediatric Physician Scientist Research Award Program
Northwestern University 4.6
Principal research scientist job in Chicago, IL
The Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine seeks a full-time tenure track Investigator at the rank of Assistant Professor. There continues to be an increasing concern about the pipeline of independent, productive physician-scientists in pediatrics. The Pediatric Physician ScientistResearch Award (PPSRA) Program is intended as one strategy in addressing this limitation by providing intramural Departmental support for actively and/or newly recruited junior investigators who show outstanding potential for developing an independently funded research program. The PPSRA will provide salary support to protect sufficient time for selected Scholars to dedicate to their research programs within a robust mentoring environment. The candidate's Division will be expected to protect 75% of the individual's time for research. It is anticipated that the successful candidate's remaining time would be allocated to clinical activities in their Division with minimal to no commitment to administration.
Qualified candidates will have an MD or DO and experience in biomedical research and candidates should express their interest directly to the Head of their relevant clinical division. Salary is commensurate with position and experience. The start date is negotiable and the position will remain open until filled.
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago provides some of the highest quality pediatric care in the country. We have received numerous awards and accolades, including being ranked 6th on the 2015-16 U.S. News & World Report honor roll. We were also one of only 12 hospitals in the country to be awarded the honor roll designation for scoring in the top 10% in at least three specialties. Lurie Children's is the only pediatric hospital in Illinois to be ranked in all 10 specialties. Lurie Children's provides superior pediatric care in a setting that offers the latest benefits and innovations in medical technology, research and family-friendly design.
Northwestern University is a leading national research university affiliated with clinical partners Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago), each of which is consistently ranked among the top hospitals nationally among its peers. Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine ranks as one of the top research oriented medical schools in the country. Its Clinical Sciences and Translational Research center (NUCATS) functions as an integrated hub supporting and accelerating clinical and translational science across Northwestern University (including six schools), our three nationally-renowned clinical partners, our Chicago community and stakeholders, and the broad consortium of CTSA-funded institutions.
Construction was begun in 2015 on a new 600,000 square-foot Biomedical Research Building that will be adjacent and connected to the Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center. The space will more than double vivarium capacity and house laboratories for both Feinberg and Lurie Children's Hospital, and have an eventual build-out capacity of approximately 1.2 million square feet. The Searle Rehabilitation Research Center at RIC is one of the largest and most respected programs of its kind. Has just moved into a new hospital facility, two blocks from its previous site. This new hospital will bring 21st century biomedical science and research directly into the clinical environment with a focus on advancing patient ability.
Chicago is a major metropolitan area that boasts world class cultural institutions, restaurants, and both professional and college sports.
