The School of Dentistry shares the mission of the Oregon Health & Science University to provide educational programs, basic and clinical research, and high-quality care and community programs. We strive to foster an environment of mutual respect where the free exchange of ideas can flourish. The dental school prepares graduates in general dentistry and the dental specialties to deliver compassionate and ethical oro-facial health care.
The successful candidate will work independently to investigate novel biosynthetic gene clusters and natural product metabolites of Streptococcus mutans. He/she will be responsible for design of research studies, procedures, implementation, and data interpretation associated with day-to-day operations in support of research goals and grant commitments in the laboratory. Monitors results, responds to unusual outcomes, develops and implements modifications to address any technical or design issue. Performs work of the highest difficulty using extensive knowledge in specialized field of study. Thus, the candidate will be expected to work independently with attention to detail and strong record-keeping. The goal is to understand how these metabolites impact childhood dental caries. Typical techniques often involved include bacterial mutagenesis, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Basic microbiology and molecular biology techniques required. Biofilm and work with a rat caries model will also be performed.
Demonstrable experience with these techniques is strongly preferred. As an SRA, the candidate will also be involved with the training and supervision of students and junior staff as well as play an integral role in the management and supply ordering for the laboratory. Assistance with the development and preparation of grants/manuscripts will also be expected.
