Postdoctoral Scholar
role at
Oregon Health & Science University
Department Overview
The Gibbs Laboratory in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon, USA is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in synthetic organic chemistry to work on development of novel fluorophore technology to improve surgery. Our team is actively working towards the development of fluorophore technology to highlight tissues to be resected (e.g., cancer) and tissues to be preserved (e.g., nerves) to improve surgical outcomes using clinically translated fluorescence guided surgery technologies. We seek skilled, motivated synthetic chemists to join our multidisciplinary team for this highly translational project. Applicants must have a background in synthetic organic chemistry. Please submit a cover letter, CV, and references. The Gibbs laboratory is well-supported by the NIH and engages in studies to develop fluorescence imaging for medical improvements.
Function/Duties of Position
Synthetic design and development of fluorophores for fluorescence-guided surgery.
Participation in lab meetings, contributions to publications, and funding applications.
Presentation at national or international meetings.
Supervision of graduate or other students as needed.
Required Qualifications
PhD in chemistry.
Strong synthetic, organic chemistry skills, including designing synthetic schemes.
Excellent communication skills and teamwork ability.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with small molecule synthesis, especially fluorophores.
Additional Information
Portland offers a vibrant culture, scenic landscapes, and proximity to the ocean, mountains, and gorge. Oregon Health & Science University values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity employment. For accommodations, contact the Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Department at 503-494-5148 or aaeo@ohsu.edu.
