Oregon Health & Science University Department Overview
The Division of Oncological Sciences at OHSU's Knight Cancer Institute focuses on understanding cancer through various research methods. The ultimate goal is to improve cancer prevention, detection, and treatment for everyone. The division’s research is conducted by a collaborative team of scientists, faculty, trainees, and staff from diverse backgrounds. Their research is built around teamwork and covers four key areas: Precision Systems Oncology, Cancer Data Science (including computer biology, bioinformatics, and biostatistics), Chemical Biology and Experimental Therapeutics, and Cancer Population Science. A major priority is to understand cell plasticity, the ability of cells to change their type or identity. Researchers are particularly interested in how cells transition from normal to cancerous, from cancer to spreading (metastasis), and from metastasis to becoming resistant to treatment. Responsibilities
The successful applicant will lead grant‑funded projects to investigate the immunobiology of B cells and their role in skin disease. This work will combine in vivo transgenic mouse models with human tissue experiments, including multiomic approaches. Significant support for computational analysis of spatial and scRNA‑sequencing data is available in the Moreau Lab as well as the collaborative and interdisciplinary environment of the Knight Cancer Institute. Required Qualifications
MD, MD/PhD, or PhD Specialty: Immunology, Cell Biology, Dermatology, Cancer Biology, or other relevant background No more than 1 year of prior postdoc experience Experience in immunology assays, flow cytometry, in vivo experiments (including transgenic mouse models) Excellent communication, analytical and organizational skills Ability to work independently and as part of a team while being collaborative in resolving problems Passion for science and inquiry Ability to synthesize one’s own results and others to formulate hypotheses Ability to prioritize multiple tasks at one time Ability to use tact and diplomacy to maintain effective working relationships Preferred Qualifications
At least one published or in‑revision first‑author manuscript in a peer‑reviewed English language journal Experience with single‑cell RNA‑sequencing, spatial transcriptomics Experience with computational analysis tools Benefits
Medical, dental, and vision coverage at no or low cost to employees Retirement plans with contributions from OHSU 120 hours of vacation time per year 96 hours of sick leave a year (prorated for part‑time employees) Commuter subsidies Tuition reimbursement Access to group life insurance, disability insurance, and other supplemental benefits Annual raises and growth/development opportunities Diversity Commitment
OHSU is committed to increasing the diversity of the campus community. We are dedicated to promoting inclusion and multiculturalism by having outstanding researchers of diverse backgrounds work together on multiple projects. Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
Oregon Health & Science University values a diverse and culturally competent workforce. We are proud of our commitment to being an equal opportunity, affirmative action organization that does not discriminate against applicants on the basis of any protected class status, including disability status and protected veteran status. Individuals with diverse backgrounds and those who promote diversity and a culture of inclusion are encouraged to apply.
