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 - 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.
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.
