Coming Soon: The Department of Bioengineering is recruiting two complementary tenure-track faculty positions in neuroengineering: one with a focus on experimental and translational research, and the other on computational and data science approaches. This page will be updated soon with more details and the official application link.
Postdoctoral Scholar - Ong Lab
The Ong Lab in the Department of Bioengineering at the Knight Campus, University of Oregon, is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to help pioneer new sensor technologies that advance the future of health monitoring. This position will lead projects developing inductive-capacitive sensors to track suture tension during and after orthopedic surgeries and magnetoelastic sensors for real-time monitoring of cells and tissues. The role includes experimental design, data analysis, cross-disciplinary collaboration, mentoring junior trainees, and lab management. This is an opportunity to contribute to translational research with the potential to transform surgical outcomes, redefine how we monitor biological systems, and shape the next generation of biomedical innovation in a collaborative, impact-driven environment.
Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Bioengineering
The Department of Bioengineering is hiring two tenure-track faculty, with expertise in neuroengineering. These open-rank positions will expand our growing neuroengineering team and accelerate the impact of science on society. We’re seeking candidates in two complementary areas:
- Experimental and Translational Neuroengineering: including neural interfaces, neurophotonics for brain stimulation and imaging, brain organoids, and pre-clinical models in bioelectric medicine or brain injury repair.
- Computational and Data-Science Neuroengineering: including neural signal processing and decoding, closed-loop behavior tracking, neuromorphic computing, brain-inspired AI, and spatial analysis of multi-omics data.
Ideal candidates will bring a strong record of research excellence, a commitment to inclusive mentorship and education, and a passion for translating discoveries into real-world solutions. We welcome applicants who are excited to contribute to a collaborative and fast-moving environment where bold ideas are encouraged and supported. Apply by October 15, 2025.
Postdoctoral Scholar & Lab Manager – Keller Lab
The Keller Lab in the Department of Bioengineering is launching a new research program in therapeutic ultrasound at the University of Oregon. We’re seeking a postdoctoral scholar to lead projects developing image-guided and feedback-controlled therapies aimed at enhancing antimicrobial treatments through mechanical stimulation of cells and tissues. The role includes experimental design, data analysis, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and lab management. This is a unique opportunity to help build a new lab from the ground up and contribute to impactful, translational research in a highly collaborative environment.
Postdoctoral Scholar & Lab Manager - Peeler Lab
The BRIDGE Lab (Biomaterial Research for Immunomodulation, Drug delivery, and Genetic Engineering) is launching in the Department of Bioengineering, and we’re seeking a postdoctoral scholar to help shape its research and operations. Candidates with expertise in biomaterials chemistry and/or immunology will lead innovative projects in drug delivery and immune modulation, with opportunities for cross-training. The role includes research, student mentorship and lab setup. It’s an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative team advancing translational immunoengineering from the ground up.
Curriculum Development Director/Lecturer
The Department of Bioengineering is hiring a Director/Lecturer who's passionate about mentoring students and building strong academic programs. This multifaceted role includes teaching professional development courses, contributing to bioengineering curriculum planning, and supporting student recruitment and advising. It’s an opportunity to join a team that’s rethinking how we prepare future bioengineers for leadership in research, industry, and beyond. As part of the Knight Campus, this role supports a culture that values bold ideas, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation with real-world impact.
Pro Tem Research Assistant/Associate/Engineer - Open Pool
The Knight Campus is accepting applications for its open research pool. Positions may include research assistants (also known as technicians), research associates, and research engineers. Research assistants typically work under the direction of a Principal Investigator, while research associates and engineers carry out projects with more independence. Research engineers may also take on technical responsibilities, such as supporting specialized equipment or facilities.
We welcome applicants from a range of scientific backgrounds, including bioengineering, neuroengineering, engineering, human physiology, applied chemistry, applied physics, biology, and related fields. If you’re passionate about research and eager to contribute to a collaborative, mission-driven environment, we encourage you to apply. We’re especially interested in individuals who thrive in team settings and enjoy working with faculty, staff, and students from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
Postdoctoral Scholar - Open Pool
The Knight Campus is seeking qualified applicants for its open postdoctoral scholar pool. This full-time, funding-contingent position offers an opportunity to enhance your professional skills and research independence while conducting laboratory research, quantitative analysis, preparing manuscripts and grant applications, and presenting findings to internal and external audiences. Successful candidates will demonstrate the ability to collaborate with faculty, staff, and students from a variety of diverse backgrounds. Appointments are for one year with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional years.
ProTem Instructor / Lecturer - Open Pool
The Knight Campus is seeking qualified applicants for its open ProTem Instructor/Lecturer pool. Knight Campus Instructors/Lecturers develop innovative and multidisciplinary educational materials with the goal of preparing graduate students for entry-level positions in academic, industry, and government labs. Those who enjoy teaching students topics that encompass both the life sciences and materials sciences are encouraged to apply. Successful Instructors/Lecturers will mentor students on research projects that span a breadth of topics and need to stay current on innovative discoveries and methods.
Senior Associate Vice President for Knight Campus Academics and Research
This position is the second in command to the Vice President for all research and academic matters at the Knight Campus. It is responsible for the development and implementation of an overall Knight Campus training and professional development plan and has a leading role in the development of degree-granting academic programs. The position has supervisory responsibility for the administrative leads for existing degree-granting graduate programs. The position has financial authority for accounts related to academic programming, research core facilities located in the Knight Campus, and large, shared equipment refresh programs. The position is the lead in developing and maintaining a laboratory safety culture throughout the facilities. The position will provide leadership and representation of Knight Campus initiatives and programs within the University and externally as requested by the Vice President/Executive Director.
