Research Engineer 3

Department Overview The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, known as one of the pioneers in personalized cancer medicine, is an international leader in research and cancer treatment. Driven by its mission to end cancer as we know it, the institute is building upon its expertise in targeted treatments to advance the early detection of cancer when the disease is most treatable. The Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research (CEDAR) center is a collaborative institution within the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Our mission is to detect and stop lethal cancers at the earliest stage because early detection saves lives. This ambitious goal 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. 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
