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.
A postdoctoral position is available at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for an outstanding and highly motivated candidate to investigate cellular signaling in the immune system. We are particularly interested in dissecting the signaling pathways involved in innate and adaptive immune responses and cell death (NLRs, inflammasomes). Please see the following articles:
