Location: Portland, Oregon

Closing Date: 25 December 2025

 

Who we are

The Bret Pearson Lab at Oregon Health & Science University is looking for an enthusiastic post doc interested in stem cell biology, neural regeneration, and neural cancer biology. We use freshwater planarians and zebrafish to understand the fundamental biology of adult stem cells in normal, regenerative, and tumorigenic contexts. To understand stem cell biology, we use cutting edge genomic, genetic, and imaging techniques combined with gene-function analyses in vivo. See more about our group and projects at: https://www.bretpearsonlab.org

Why Portland Oregon?

In Portland, we work hard and play hard. From skiing on Mt. Hood to tide pooling on the coast, Portland is an outdoor-lover’s paradise. In addition, Portland is one of the best cities for food in the world while maintaining affordability and a West Coast lifestyle.
