The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, is known as one of the pioneers in personalized cancer medicine and an international leader in research and cancer treatment. With its mission to end cancer as we know it, the institute is building on its groundbreaking expertise in targeted therapy to improve outcomes for patients with advanced cancer and to enhance the ability to detect cancer at its earliest stages. From laboratory science to clinical trials of new treatments to studying populations at risk, the institute's scientists are advancing the understanding of the root causes of cancer and finding ways to improve detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Leveraging our faculty's expertise and collective strengths, the institute's strategic plan targets three areas of focus: 1) Culture of Inclusion & Innovation, 2) Precision Early Detection, and 3) Precision Oncology.
To further our goal of advancing a culture of inclusion and innovation, the Knight Cancer Institute has an outstanding opportunity for an Associate Director (AD) of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to oversee these efforts across our healthcare, academic, and research missions. This faculty leader will bring a deep commitment and experience to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism efforts already underway and will guide the development of innovative policies and programs to further diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism across missions.

As of Oct. 18, 2021, all OHSU employees are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Fully vaccinated means you have received both doses of a two-dose, or one dose of a single-dose, FDA- or WHO-authorized COVID-19 vaccine and at least 14 days have passed since your final dose of COVID-19 vaccine. If you apply for and are offered a position, you must be fully vaccinated prior to starting work.
If the position you are offered does not require direct, in-person patient care contact, you may request an exception to the vaccine policy for medical or religious reasons. OHSU uses very narrow criteria under the law to allow an exception and very few requests are being approved.
