This is an exciting time for the University of Oregon as we realize our dreams for enhancing discovery and innovation activity through the development of the Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. This page provides information on faculty employment opportunities within the Knight Campus.
Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Bioengineering
The Department of Bioengineering is hiring 1-2 tenure track faculty positions at all levels (assistant, associate, or full professor). Candidates focused on data-enabled approaches to improve human health with applications in regenerative medicine, immunoengineering, synthetic biology, biosensors, human performance, or aging are encouraged to apply. Candidates committed to translation and/or entrepreneurial activities will be reviewed especially favorably.
Optics Program Director, Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program
The Optics Program Director will have primary responsibilities for: oversight of equipment and facilities used in experiential learning and research, modernization of core curriculum, instruction of 2-3 program-specific courses, and internal stakeholder engagement. Additionally, the Program Director will provide support for industry engagement and student recruitment. The position requires scientific expertise in the area of optical materials and devices.
Postdoctoral Scholar - Benoit Lab
The Postdoctoral Scholar will be responsible for conducting research and technical activities related to sponsored projects in Benoit Lab; will conduct data analysis and collaborate on reporting findings and discoveries in written and verbal form; and will manage, maintain and provide technical expertise for Benoit lab equipment, protocols, and programs.
Postdoctoral Scholar - Gardner Lab
The Gardner Lab focuses on the study of sensory-motor learning in songbirds and in the development of new implantable devices to interface with the brain and peripheral nervous system. The Postdoctoral scholar will conduct research on the neural mechanisms of song performance and song learning using one or more of the following methods: high-channel count neural recordings, optogenetic circuit perturbation, and closed-loop behavioral paradigms.
Postdoctoral Scholar – Hettiarachatchi Lab
The postdoc will be responsible for conducting research and technical activities related to ongoing projects in the Hettiaratchi Lab involving the design, fabrication, and implementation of hydrogel biomaterials for protein delivery. The postdoc will also give poster and oral presentations, write manuscripts, and assist Dr. Hettiaratchi in mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.
Postdoctoral Scholar - Lindberg Lab
The Postdoctoral Scholar will be responsible for conducting research and technical activities related to sponsored projects in Dr. Lindberg's lab; this research project will be focused on advanced bioinks and thermoplastic scaffolds for 3D Bioprinting of hybrid constructs for bone marrow models. Developing physio-mimetic bone marrow tissue models to study disease pathogenesis and stem cell behaviors represents a critical bioengineering stream to prime the development of effective and accessible treatment options for bone marrow failures.
Postdoctoral Scholar - Plesa Lab
The postdoc will be responsible for conducting research and technical activities related to sponsored projects in the Plesa Lab. Research work includes designing and optimizing a new antibody generation method using a large-scale in-vivo protein-protein interaction assay, gene synthesis and in-vivo mutagenesis.
Postdoctoral Scholar - Willett Lab
The postdoct will be responsible for conducting research and technical activities related to sponsored projects in the Willett Lab and on a project under the Regenerative Rehabilitation Moonshot program of the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance.
Postdoctoral Scholar - Open Pool
The postdoc in the Knight Campus will conduct laboratory research, quantitative analysis, prepare manuscripts and grant applications, and present data and findings to internal and external audiences.
