Assistant Professor or Associate Professor at Oregon Health & Science University

The Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences at Oregon Health & Science University invites applications for two full-time faculty positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor to study mechanisms of stress. These research programs will complement the Institute's basic, applied, and translational researchers. The successful candidate will lead an experimental research program that leverages model organisms (e.g., rodents, non-human primates, population reference mouse, worm recombinant inbred panels) to explore the role of stress in health and disease. Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
