Post Doctoral Scholar
Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), Portland, Oregon, United States, 97201
Postdoctoral Fellow Position
A fully-funded postdoctoral researcher position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Bret Pearson at the Pape Family Pediatric Research Institute, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR. We are currently building our team and looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow interested in studying the molecular connections between stem cell biology, neural injury, and neural cancer biology, primarily using the unique combination of model systems: freshwater planarians and zebrafish. We use cutting edge genomic and imaging techniques to understand fundamental questions in adult stem cell biology in normal, regenerative, and tumorigenic contexts. In addition to scientific training, the postdoc will also receive personalized mentoring to advance their own career development including networking, goal setting, leadership and lecturing opportunities, further training in public speaking, project management, grant and manuscript writing, and opportunities to review manuscripts. We also work closely with the neuroscience and cancer institutes at OHSU. Required Qualifications
PhD Following the scientific method to ask and answer scientific questions Working as part of a team Working independently Dynamic environment Manuscript writing Critical thinking Strong oral and written communication skills Troubleshooting and problem-solving skills Organized Self-starter Time management Open and willing to learn new skills Creativity Preferred Qualifications
Molecular biology Cell biology Bioinformatics Mentoring junior colleagues Using model organisms Bioinformatic experience Bioinformatics/genomics Sterile technique Imaging experience Molecular biology skills Additional Details
The work environment is a laboratory setting, which includes exposure to laboratory chemicals, zebrafish, and planarians. Appropriate training and safety equipment will be provided to handle chemicals, animals, and tissues. ***Upload cover letter and resume. Please be sure to include months and years (MM/YYYY format) to the resume for jobs/experience. All are welcome
