Postdoctoral Research Associate - Chemical Biology and Therapeutics - Cupido Lab

The lab of Dr. Tommaso Cupido e Children’s Research Hospital is looking for motivated, biology-inclined synthetic chemists to push the frontier of RNA proximity-induced pharmacology.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical biology, or related fields, familiarity with multistep organic synthesis, and at least one first-author peer-reviewed publication (accepted or close to be).

The focus is the discovery, design and development of small-molecule modulators using novel screening and compound optimization platforms, with emphasis on yet-to-be-drugged pathways and biological mechanisms that regulate RNA biology and gene expression in cancer.

The project will be conducted in the Department of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics e Children’s Research Hospital and builds on strong investments into a world-class infrastructure in high-throughput chemical discovery and synthesis.

We offer:

• State-of-the-art, fully staffed facilities for chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, structural biology, mass spectrometry, genomics, cell microscopy and data-driven discoveries at St Jude.
• A highly collaborative and supportive research environment with premier experts in cancer biology.
• Opportunities to develop expertise across chemical biology, structural, cellular and molecular biology, proteomics, and drug discovery.
• Strong opportunities for scientific growth, publication, grant writing, collaboration, and career development.
