Faculty opportunities
Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in Bioorganic Chemistry
10/01/08 Update: Please inquire before applying.
OHSU's Division of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems (http://www.ebs.ogi.edu) invites applications for a faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level. We seek candidates with expertise in bioorganic chemistry with interests in natural products, including both biosynthesis of microbial secondary metabolites and structural elucidation, and related fields, whose research addresses problems related to environmental and human health. We are particularly interested in candidates who can facilitate strong research and teaching collaborations among microbiologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, and environmental scientists and engineers. The candidate will join a unique, diverse, and highly interdisciplinary division that is part of a major health science university.
The position is available immediately. We will accept applications until the position is filled. Applications (cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for suggested references) or questions can be sent to: Margo Haygood, Chair, Bioorganic Chemist Search Committee, Division of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems, Department of Science & Engineering, Oregon Health & Science University, 20000 NW Walker Road, Beaverton OR 97006-8921, bc_search@ebs.ogi.edu.

Undergraduate and High School
Undergraduate
Each summer, the Division of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems (EBS) hosts 3-6 undergraduates for research internships.
The EBS Undergraduate Internship Program begins in mid June and runs for 10 weeks. (Interns may negotiate later start dates and/or earlier end dates with their faculty supervisor.) A stipend will be awarded to the most qualified candidates, and other qualified candidates may be offered the opportunity for volunteer internships.
Applications are due March 1st, the division announces its decisions in mid March, and prospective interns are expected to acceptor or decline our offers by mid April.
To apply, please send the following information by email to christin@ohsu.edu, or mail to: Nancy Christie, Mail Code OGI 100, Division of Environmental & Biomolecular Systems, Department of Science & Engineering, Oregon Health & Science University, 20000 N.W. Walker Road, Beaverton, OR 97006-8921.
- Cover letter including a statement (under 500 words) describing your scientific interests and motivation for pursuing summer research. Indicate which division faculty member you would most like to work with and why. (The research areas of EBS faculty can be found at http://www.ogi.edu/ebs/people/.)
- Resume including full contact information (name, address, phone numbers, email addresses); your current undergraduate affiliation, major, and class; and prior work experience with 1-3 sentence summaries of any research exprience you have.
- Official transcripts for all undergraduate colleges or universities that you have attended.
- One letter of recommendation. (Letters sent directly from the author to the address given above are preferred.)
Additional internship opportunities for undergraduates are available through the Center of Coastal Margin Observation and Research (CMOP). For more details, see http://www.stccmop.org/undergraduate/. There is no need to apply to both programs because the admissions processes are closely coordinated.
Note to international students: Undergraduate internships within the Division of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems are open to international students. However, the stipend available would not include enough funds for housing, travel, insurance, and visa application so those costs would be the responsibility of the student. Undergraduate internships within the Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction are available only to U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents.
High School
In general, we only accept high school student interns through Saturday Academy's Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) program. Candidates should apply through the ASE Program.
There are additional opportunities for high school students and teachers through the Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction (CMOP). For more details, see http://www.stccmop.org/education.
