    Description
    Department Overview

    Overview:
    The Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research (CEDAR) center is a collaborative institution within the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.

    The Knight Cancer Institute, known as one of the pioneers in personalized cancer medicine, is an international leader in research and cancer treatment.

    At CEDAR our mission is to detect and stop lethal cancers at the earliest stage because early detection saves lives.

    This is an ambitious goal, one that requires novelty, creativity, and innovation.

    We are comprised of biologists, chemists, biomedical engineers, computationalists, and clinicians conducting groundbreaking translational cancer research to help people maintain a high quality of life and reduce cancer mortality, to create a global early detection community, and to have a positive impact on the Oregon economy.


    Our Commitment to Diversity:
    CEDAR is committed to increasing the diversity of the campus community.

    We are dedicated to promoting inclusion and multiculturalism by having outstanding researchers of diverse backgrounds work together on multiple projects.

    We encourage high-risk, high-reward research projects because defeating cancer requires out-of-the-box thinking and new perspectives. Our research is milestone driven to ensure that each project is fulfilling its stated goals.

    Every Knight Cancer employee is expected to embody our guiding principles:


    • We act BOLDLY-Breakthroughs require pushing the boundaries of science, exploring new frontiers, and thinking differently
    • We SUPPORT each other-Respect leads to trust, which leads to excellence
    • We work as a CONNECTED team-We must leverage our collective brain power to conquer cancer because no one individual can do it alone
    Function/Duties of Position


    A postdoctoral position is available to work with a collaborative, international group of scientists to understand early pancreatic cancer biology.

    We are looking for an engaged, dedicated, and curious scientist to develop primary human pancreatic organoid lines to investigate the onset of early oncogenic phenotypes and interrogate mechanisms of interaction with the tumor microenvironment.

    This work will be informed by spatial profiling of normal, pre-malignant, and cancer tissues.

    The ideal candidate will have expertise in cell culture, preferably with organoid and/or 3D culture systems, as well as in a range of molecular and cellular biology techniques.

    This position is funded by a recent award through the international alliance for cancer early detection (ACED) in the lab of Dr.

    Ellen Langer. Dr. Langer's group works within the Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research center at the Knight Cancer institute.
