We are a new-ish lab at OHSU in the Department of Pediatrics. We use 2 model systems, zebrafish and planarians, to study adult stem cell biology, brain cancer stem cells, and neural regeneration. All of these topics are unified by the field of developmental biology and we use common molecular biology techniques and genetics to study these processes.  We are looking for a Senior Research Associate who has experience with using model organisms to study molecular biological questions (preferably with zebrafish experience). In addition to the technical aspects of the job, this position will be integral to establishing the lab culture and work ethic going forward. Although daunting, the position allows for large amounts of flexibility in terms of time and project management, as well as building a lab from the ground up.   Please apply if any of this appeals to you and check out our previous research:  https://lab.research.sickkids.ca/pearson/
