Representatives work with a wide variety of callers. It is imperative that the Representative properly screen vague or incomplete requests so that the call may be connected or paged, to the appropriate person or area. The Representative is generally the first impression of OHSU by the general public. Therefore, this position requires a high level of professionalism, accuracy, attention to detail, empathy, technical savvy, and customer service. Individuals must be able to multi-task, ask clarifying questions to ascertain customer needs, and thrive in a very fast paced, high-volume, non-scripted environment.
Representatives will be handling emergent calls (e.g. Code Blue/medical emergency, Code Red/Fire) and will be expected to send immediate communications through multiple modes. (phone, belt based paging, overhead paging, emergency alert notifications)
Representatives must be able to seamlessly and immediately transition to back-up/redundant systems if outages occur.
The Knight Cancer Institute Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center (CEDAR) at Oregon Health & Science University seeks an experienced Computational Biologist Level 1 or 2 who will develop custom computational methods, including construction of analytic pipelines and implementation of sophisticated statistical techniques to analyze spatial imaging data relevant to cancer biology and early detection. The position will enjoy unique exposure and access to single cell multiplex imaging data sets and single-cell transcriptomic data as a member of CEDAR¿s collaborative spatial imaging team, but no prior experience in image analysis specifically is required for this position.
The ideal candidate will have experience with analysis of `omic data (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic etc.), particularly for target or biomarker discovery, experience in implementing statistical methods as appropriate for dataset treatment (e.g. quality inspection, normalization, differential feature detection, etc.), and experience in developing pipelines to support analytics as described to additionally facilitate improved data management, and to generate complete workflows that are reproducible and scalable. Experience with or knowledge regarding single-cell data and/or machine learning would be a bonus but is NOT required and should not be a deterrence from applying.
You will be part of multidisciplinary project-based teams developing novel approaches for the early detection of cancer. Duties include requirements gathering, data management, pipeline building, shared tool development, custom analysis with data modeling and machine learning, and contributions to manuscripts and grant applications, all under the supervision of senior level computational biologists.
