For his doctorate he produced a thesis on two newly found species of ceratopsids, dated to the Late Cretaceous period in Montana and the growth and function of ceratopsid horns and frills.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Museum Staff Profiles: Collections and Research Department: Scott Sampson, Ph.D. )〕 Sampson graduated from the University of Toronto in 1993 and worked for a year at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Then he worked for five years as an assistant professor of anatomy at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine on Long Island.〔 In 1999 he accepted positions as assistant professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics and curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Utah Museum of Natural History. Sampson resided in California at this time, but continued his research with the Utah museum as a research curator.〔 In February 2013, Sampson took a position as Vice President of Research and Collections at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Sampson features as "Dr. Scott" on the television series, ''Dinosaur Train''. In this television series he mentions he gave ''Masiakasaurus'' its name and also mentions on a separate episode of The Dinosaur Train that he participated in naming ''Kosmoceratops''. In 2003 he hosted ''Dinosaur Planet'', a series of four animated nature documentaries which aired on the Discovery Channel. The series was narrated by Christian Slater. His latest book, ''Dinosaur Odyssey: Fossil Threads in the Web of Life'' was published by University of California Press in 2009. The book, aimed at the general public reconstructs the odyssey of the dinosaurs from their origins on the supercontinent of Pangaea, and explores the way in which dinosaurs ecologically interacted in an expansive web of relationships with other organisms and their natural environment, underscoring "paradigm shifts", which conceptualize the nature of the dinosaurian world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dinosaur Odyssey Fossil Threads in the Web of Life )〕
