Postdoctoral Position Available - Department of Hematology : Memphis, TN, United States

A post-doctoral position is available in the Department of Hematology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (Memphis, Tennessee, USA) to study hematopoietic stem cells. Our laboratory recently completed an in vivo screen that has identified numerous novel molecular regulators of hematopoietic stem cell repopulating activity. We are now focused on dissecting the molecular and cellular mechanisms of these novel genes with the long-term goal of developing new therapies to enhance the efficiency of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The successful candidate will employ mouse genetics, ex vivo cell culture, flow cytometry, and molecular biology to dissect the mechanisms employed by these candidate genes to influence HSC biology. This position is ideal for someone with a Ph.D. and/or M.D. seeking to develop expertise in stem cell biology in an intimate and vibrant laboratory setting.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, located in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, is a premier center for research and treatment of potentially fatal childhood diseases, including cancer and certain blood, genetic, and immunodeficiency disorders. The hospital’s mission is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. St. Jude is dedicated to providing unsurpassed patient care and to advancing the health of children through biomedical research.
