The Department of Pediatrics is looking for a senior Postdoctoral Scholar to join Dr. Juan Piantino’s lab within the Papé Family Pediatric Research Institute, Neuroscience Section. Our research focuses on the biological mechanisms linking sleep disturbances to cognitive function and recovery from brain injury in humans. Specifically, we focus on the glymphatic pathway as a mediator between poor sleep and recovery from concussion in young individuals. Our lab has pioneered the use of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques to assess glymphatic function in humans, in healthy conditions and following traumatic brain injury. We currently have funding from the National Institutes of Health and the...

The behavioral pediatrics postdoctoral position emphasizes consultation and treatment activities within a pediatric setting. Clinical activities will focus on behavioral pediatrics and integrated primary care. Behavioral pediatrics addresses the well child gap between general pediatric care and mental health services. Training will emphasize collaboration and clinical consultation within general pediatrics clinics, training of pediatric residents, and outpatient treatment emphasizing common behavior problems that present in outpatient pediatric medical settings (e.g., bedtime problems, tantrums, noncompliance, mealtime and feeding difficulties, delayed toilet training), behavior problems with a biological...

The Eksi Lab at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is seeking a highly motivated and creative postdoctoral fellow with expertise in cancer biology, neurobiology, or neuroimmunology. Our research focuses on how sympathetic nerve signaling remodels the tumor microenvironment 

The successful candidate will work independently to investigate the molecular mechanisms that support health associated polymicrobial communities. He/she will be responsible for most of the planning, implementation, and data interpretation associated with his/her research. Thus, the candidate will be expected to work independently with attention to detail and strong record-keeping. The goal is to understand how the oral flora interacts and lead to early childhood caries disease development. This includes intra, inter microbial and potentially host interactions. Typical laboratory techniques often require expertise with gene expression analysis, targeted mutagenesis, microscopy, bacterial community analysis, and multiple `omics analysis.
