The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, is known as one of the pioneers in personalized cancer medicine and an international leader in research and cancer treatment. With its mission to end cancer as we know it, the institute is building on its groundbreaking expertise in targeted therapy to improve outcomes for patients with advanced cancer and to enhance the ability to detect cancer at its earliest stages. From laboratory science to clinical trials of new treatments to studying populations at risk, the institute's scientists are advancing the understanding of the root causes of cancer and finding ways to improve detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Leveraging our faculty's expertise and collective strengths, the institute's strategic plan targets three areas of focus: 1) Culture of Inclusion & Innovation, 2) Precision Early Detection, and 3) Precision Oncology.
To further our goal of advancing a culture of inclusion and innovation, the Knight Cancer Institute has an outstanding opportunity for an Associate Director (AD) of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to oversee these efforts across our healthcare, academic, and research missions. This leader will bring a deep commitment and experience to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism efforts already underway and will guide the development of innovative policies and programs to further diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism across missions.
