About The Position
The Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences is an independent research institute within OHSU that is dedicated to health and safety in the workplace. The Institute receives its base funding from the Oregon Workers' Compensation Fund and leverages this base funding to secure federal government grants in basic, clinical, and applied research. We perform biomedical/occupational research and innovation for a healthy workforce, aimed at promoting health and reducing disease and disability among workers across the nation, particularly in Oregon. The Clinical Physiology and Chronobiology Program (CPCP) within the Institute specializes in clinical research on the effects of sleep and circadian rhythms on physiology and pathophysiology in humans. The clinical research assistant 2 will work on various projects under the direction of Dr. Saurabh Thosar (PI), with immediate supervision by his senior research staff. This research is aimed at understanding the effects of different physiological stressors (e.g., sedentary behavior, shift work) on human physiology, specifically identifying mechanisms that increase cardiovascular risk in vulnerable people and identifying sustainable countermeasures.
