The Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute (VGTI) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) has assembled a multidisciplinary team of scientists to respond to serious viral disease threats, including AIDS, chronic viral infection-associated diseases, newly emerging viral diseases and infectious diseases of the elderly. Our programs are intended to span the continuum between basic and clinical science, in which discoveries are rapidly advanced from the level of molecular and cellular biology through animal models and ultimately into clinical testing. The development of this unique program in immunology and virology provides an important training opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at OHSU. This is why an important part of our mission is the training of young scientists in newer academic disciplines emerging at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute.

Oregon Health and Sciences University seeks applicants for a full-time Assistant Staff Scientist position at our facility in Beaverton, Oregon. This position is expected to carry out the science and daily laboratory activities associated with various projects and provide required technical support to meet research objectives. The position will involve handling and processing human and non-human primate samples that may contain infectious agents.

The position requires a PhD in Molecular or Cell Biology or Immunology, and 36 months experience as a Biology or Immunology Researcher, including the following skills: working with animal model, human cell cultures, and infectious disease laboratory experience including sample processing, exposure to biohazardous samples, and Biosafety Level 2, 2+ or 3 facilities.
