The Moreau laboratory for early cancer immunobiology at the OHSU Division of Oncological (DOS) Sciences and Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research (CEDAR) center is seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team. We are exploring the biology of tissue resident lymphocytes and how these cells contribute to cancer pathogenesis. Our long-term goal is to leverage tissue immunobiology for the development of novel immunotherapeutic and cancer detection strategies. The successful applicant will combine high dimensional multiomic technologies, translational approaches, and complex mouse models to investigate tissue resident lymphocyte biology in cancer. A primary focus will be on skin and lung T or B cells. Work will be conducted in the highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment of the Knight Cancer Institute.

Duties Include: Perform experiments utilizing appropriate lab or computational techniques with proficiency, evaluate results, and determine the next steps to complete project and present data. Think independently and solve problems. Stay on top of scientific literature and build skills to maximize project potential.

Department Overview: The Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research (CEDAR) center is a collaborative institution within the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. The Knight Cancer Institute, known as one of the pioneers in personalized cancer medicine, is an international leader in research and cancer treatment. At CEDAR our mission is to detect and stop lethal cancers at the earliest stage because early detection saves lives. This is an ambitious goal, one that requires novelty, creativity, and innovation. We are comprised of biologists, chemists, biomedical engineers, computationalists, and clinicians conducting groundbreaking translational cancer research to help people maintain a high quality of life and reduce cancer mortality, to create a global early detection community, and to have a positive impact on the Oregon economy. 

Our Commitment to Diversity: CEDAR 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. We encourage high-risk, high-reward research projects because defeating cancer requires out-of-the-box thinking and new perspectives. Our research is milestone driven to ensure that each project is fulfilling its stated goals.

Every Knight Cancer employee is expected to embody our guiding principles:

• We act BOLDLY—Breakthroughs require pushing the boundaries of science, exploring new frontiers, and thinking differently
• We SUPPORT each other—Respect leads to trust, which leads to excellence
• We work as a CONNECTED team — We must leverage our collective brain power to conquer cancer because no one individual can do it alone
