Department Overview

OHSU has three missions: healing, teaching, and discovery. In the School of Nursing, these focus to optimize health, prepare nurse leaders, and transform health care. Infusing these is a fourth: to become a trauma-informed and truly anti-racist institution. The School of Nursing has made the same commitment. We, along with all of OHSU, are striving to become a place where every member can be safe, be at their best, and do their best work. With support from OHSU leadership and the Center for Diversity and Inclusion and using a trauma-informed approach, we are transforming our culture, policies, admissions, hiring, and more.

The School of Nursing is seeking dynamic, productive PhD-prepared faculty for a research-intensive academic track faculty position at any rank (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor).

The new faculty members will report to an Academic Program Director who is selected based on the teaching experience and interests of the candidate and is directly supported by the Sr. Associate Dean for Research.
