About the role

Oregon Health & Science University is seeking an undergraduate student to support basic lab maintenance and animal husbandry on the Marquam Hill campus in Portland. You will work with a team including a Research Assistant, graduate student, and postdoc after completing training requirements. The role includes molecular biology tasks, tissue dissection, histology, and data analysis of microscopy images, with hours to be determined between employee and supervisor. All are welcome at OHSU.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
