The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, known as one of the pioneers in personalized cancer medicine, is an international leader in research and cancer treatment. Driven by its mission to end cancer as we know it, the institute is building upon its expertise in targeted treatments for cancer as well as to advance the early detection of cancer when the disease is most treatable.
Every Knight Cancer employee is expected to embody our guiding principles:
This position supports assays run on the Nanostring GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler system, including both clinical
and research tumor samples. The tasks for this position are as follows: 1) Prepare slides for multiplex antibody
incubations following a standard protocol. 2) Under guidance of a pathologist, select regions of interest for
collection of oligonucleotide barcodes. 3) Process the collected oligonucleotides for quantitation on the
Nanostring nCounter system. 4) Maintain laboratory supplies and manage inventory. 5) Track and manage general
sample workflow. In addition to these tasks, the position may help with routine immunostaining of cancer
specimens, other histology tasks, and tissue microarray construction.
This position requires skills in handling laboratory specimens (human and mouse), record keeping, laboratory
equipment maintenance and quality assurance. The ability to work with several computer systems is necessary.
An ability to identify cells and cell morphology at the light microscopic level is desirable. Experience in histology,
including sectioning and staining tissue sections, is also desirable but not essential. Molecular or cellular biology
knowledge/skills (PCR, Immunofluorescent imaging and/or cell culture) would be helpful.
This position requires following established protocols, communicating well and working effectively as part of a
team. The technician will interact with a variety of scientists and other staff, and is expected to keep the
laboratory in good working order, including maintaining supplies, prepare stock solutions, and keeping complete
and accurate records of all experiments. The position may allow some flexibility in work hours, including some
nights and weekends, but not work-from-home.
