Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Fluorophore Chemistry)

The Gibbs Laboratory in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon, USA, is recruiting a talented and motivated fluorophore chemist to join our multidisciplinary team (chemists, biologists, engineers, surgeons, computational scientists) to contribute to our highly translational projects. The postdoctoral fellow will conduct research on the design, synthesis, and testing of novel fluorophores and fluorophore-labeled ligands for macroscopic and microscopic fluorescence imaging. The ideal candidate will be willing to learn new methods and techniques and be able to manage multiple projects with a primary focus on novel fluorescence contrast agent development. There are a variety of training opportunities in this fellowship, from relevant biological and biomedical engineering skillset to individual professional growth. Applicants should submit a cover letter explaining their interests and career trajectory, a CV, and a list of references.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Organic Chemistry)

The Gibbs Laboratory in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon, USA is recruiting several talented and motivated chemists with strong background in synthetic organic chemistry or medicinal chemistry to work on development of novel fluorescence technology to improve medicine. Our team is actively working towards the development of novel fluorophores to highlight both tissues to be resected (e.g., cancer) and structures to be preserved (e.g., nerves) to improve surgical outcomes for patients. The postdoctoral fellow will carry out research focused on the design, synthesis, and testing of novel fluorophores and fluorophore labeled ligands for macroscopic and microscopic fluorescence imaging. The candidate will employ conventional organic synthesis and develop new synthetic strategies to prepare the proposed small molecules. The ideal candidate will be willing to learn new methods and techniques, and able to manage multiple projects with a primary focus on the chemical space. There are a variety of training opportunities in this fellowship, from relevant biological and biomedical engineering skillset to individual professional growth. Applicants should submit a cover letter explaining their interests and career trajectory, a CV, and a list of references.

Fluorescence Molecular Imaging Internship Program

The Fluorescence Molecular Imaging Internship Program is hosted by the Gibbs Laboratory to provide hands-on science education to high school and college students interested in careers in scientific research. Interns learn a variety of wet bench laboratory skills such as cell culture, spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, macroscopic fluorescence imaging, immunostaining, organic synthesis, small molecule purification as well as antibody conjugation and purification strategies. Additionally, interns learn about data analysis and processing and can learn about programming, especially in the area of image analysis. Interns will also learn about experimental planning and troubleshooting as it relates to their research project. To apply, please send a cover letter expressing your reason for interest in the program as well as your C.V. to Dr. Summer Gibbs.
