The OSU T32 Training Program supports 6 pre-doctoral trainees and 3 post-doctoral trainees each year under the auspices of an NIEHS Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Institutional Research Training Grant (T32). Our training program has a long track record of over 50ys success training doctoral students and post-doctoral scientists in the Environmental Health Sciences.
Dr. Caren Weinhouse at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is seeiking a full-time postdoctoral fellow in Environmental Health Sciences, Molecular Genetics, or a related field. The postdoc will work as part of a team on an Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) R01 award funded through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The goal of this project is to test a mechanism for initiation and promotion of liver cancer in mice by the endocrine disrupting compound bisphenol A (BPA).

Our recruitment process is designed to attract the best and brightest while also attaining diversity in our training cohort by attracting trainees from underrepresented and disadvantaged groups in STEM.
The outcome of our training program is to matriculate trainees with the skills, experience, and ethics to address a wide range of complex, critical, and rapidly evolving problems in EHS.
