A postdoctoral position is available at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for an outstanding and highly motivated candidate to investigate the cellular signaling in the innate immune system during infections, inflammatory diseases, and cancers.
We are particularly interested in dissecting the signaling pathways involved in innate immune responses and cell death (NLRs, caspases, inflammasomes, and inflammatory cell death, PANoptosis) and understanding how these pathways connect to adaptive immunity (T cells).
Summary
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is committed to the education and training of the next generation of research scientists. St. Jude trainees are able to learn from clinical and basic science investigators who work in close proximity and interact regularly to translate scientific discoveries into improved therapies for children. If you are a highly motivated individual who wants to work at a world-class institution with state-of-the-art facilities and learn from investigators at the forefront of their fields, consider advancing your research training at St. Jude.
The ideal candidate will have experience with immunology or cell/molecular biology methodologies, such as:
- Macrophage and primary cell culture
- T cell analyses
- Western blotting
- qPCR
- CRISPR
- Co-immunoprecipitation experiments
Minimum Education
Candidates should have a recent PhD, DVM, MD/PhD in biomedical sciences with practical experience in immunology (innate and adaptive immune responses) and must be hard working and highly motivated.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has a diverse, global patient population and workforce, built on the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. Our founder Danny Thomas envisioned a hospital that would treat children of the world—regardless of race, religion or a family’s ability to pay. Today, we continue the mission to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. As we accelerate this progress globally, we believe our legacy of diversity, equity and inclusion is foundational to success.
