Notice- OSP Seeking Locum Tenens Forensic Pathologists

The Oregon Department of State Police, through the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s office, is soliciting applications for locum tenens forensic pathologists to provide temporary pathology services on a per diem basis at a rate of $1,750 per day. Candidates must hold board certifications in anatomic and forensic pathology, have at least three years of post-fellowship experience, maintain a valid Oregon medical license, and carry professional liability insurance. The selected pathologists will independently perform medical-legal evaluations and autopsies on a variety of forensic cases, explicitly excluding homicide, pediatric, and high medico-legal interest cases. Assignments require a minimum commitment of three consecutive days, and work will be conducted at facilities in Oregon, primarily the Central Point Laboratory under the oversight of the Chief Medical Examiner. This solicitation is structured as a straightforward application process rather than a complex federal contract, with no standard FAR clauses, formal evaluation factors, or socioeconomic contracting requirements. Submission consists solely of a curriculum vitae sent electronically to the designated contact, with a response deadline set for August 31, 2027. The contract type and total estimated value are unspecified, with implied arrangements based on daily engagement without competitive trade-offs or pricing variability. Inspection and acceptance are managed by the Oregon State Medical Examiner, ensuring that practitioners meet the stated qualifications and performance standards. There are no package, invoicing, or payment instructions detailed beyond administrative handling by the procuring agency. This opportunity supports staffing needs for forensic pathology services on an as-needed locum tenens basis to maintain case processing and forensic investigations continuity within the state.
