A postdoc position is available in the lab of Taosheng Chen. The Chen Lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work in a multidisciplinary team to study the regulation of PXR and CAR, or CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, by characterizing novel chemical probes (i.e., small molecule inhibitors or degraders) in biochemical/biophysical, cellular and animal models. Drug toxicity and resistance are the leading causes of therapeutic failures. The Chen Lab (https://www.stjude.org/research/labs/chen-lab-taosheng.html) studies: (1) the chemical regulation of nuclear xenobiotic receptors, (2) …

A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the lab of Tanja Mittag in the Department of Structural Biology. Project Description: The Mittag lab invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on structures of the tumor suppressor and ubiquitin ligase component SPOP. We have recently solved the first cryo-EM structures of full-length SPOP (Cuneo et al. Mol Cell 2023), and they have revealed interfaces that had not recently been observed in structures of smaller constructs. Importantly, these interfaces …

A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Yen in the Division of Experimental Hematology. Project Description: We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our cutting-edge research team focused on developing lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based therapeutic strategies for targeting hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The successful candidate will work in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment to advance novel genome editor delivery technologies and improve therapeutic outcomes in hematological disorders. Position Responsibilities: LNP Design …

A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the lab of Benjamin Youngblood. Project Description: We have recently discovered that T cells can persist beyond organismal lifespan limits. We are recruiting a postdoc to study the hallmarks of aging among chronically stimulated and aged T cells. This individual will help us understand the cell-intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that enable extreme T cell longevity. Position Responsibilities: Measure molecular hallmarks of aging in experimental model systems of iterative T cell stimulation. Draft …

A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the lab of Scott Blanchard. Project Description: The Blanchard laboratory in the Department of Structural Biology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral student with experience in molecular biology, biochemistry (preferably of membrane proteins) and quantitative biophysical and/or computational approaches to examine the molecular basis of GPCR signaling fidelity at single-molecule scale in order to accelerate a next-generation GPCR-targeting drug discovery program. Our highly interdisciplinary, collaborative, mission-driven …

The Peijun Ma Laboratory at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is seeking a highly motivated Computational Postdoctoral Researcher to develop and apply computational approaches for bacterial genomics, transcriptomics, and single-cell genomics. Project Description:Our research focuses on understanding bacterial heterogeneity, antibiotic responses, host-pathogen interactions, and microbiome dynamics. A major goal of the lab is to bridge bacterial genomics with transcriptomics to uncover how genetic variation, genome architecture, and cellular states shape bacterial behavior and adaptation. The successful candidate will have the …

Immunology postdoctoral positions are available in Dr. Hongbo Chi‘s laboratory in the Department of Immunology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Project Description The Chi lab investigates immunobiology, immunometabolism and cancer immunology, by focusing on metabolic regulation of the immune system and the therapeutic impacts on cancer and other diseases. As metabolic pathways are inextricably connected to immunity and cancer, understanding these connections allows us to gain new insights into biological concepts and disease targets. We are particularly interested in …
