This is a part-time non-OHSU student position, anticipated to average approximately 15–20 hours per week. Work schedules are flexible and will be coordinated with the supervisor to support both academic obligations and departmental needs.

 

This position is a hybrid work schedule anticipating 85% remote and 15% in-person.

 

OHSU will provide a laptop and other necessary equipment; the incumbent is responsible for maintaining a suitable remote workspace, including reliable internet access and an appropriate work surface and seating arrangement. Employees who wish to work on-site may reserve workspace on campus, subject to availability.

 

The position requires extended periods of computer use, including working with data, documents, presentations, and virtual collaboration tools. The incumbent must be able to participate in virtual meetings and communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders in both remote and in-person settings.

 

Occasional travel to OHSU campuses and other local sites within the Portland metropolitan area is required to conduct site visits, support project activities, attend meetings, and gain familiarity with campus facilities and operations. The incumbent must be able to independently travel to these locations as needed.

 

Work is performed in both office and field environments and may require walking between buildings and campuses during site visits. Employees who commute to campus may purchase parking through OHSU, utilize a partially subsidized public transit pass, and may be eligible for incentives that support walking or bicycling to work in accordance with applicable OHSU programs and policies. May occasionally carry a laptop, project materials, or documents between work locations.

We are Oregon's only public academic health center.
