Postdoctoral Research Associate- Childhood Hematological Malignancies Training Program

Postdoctoral Research Associate
- Childhood Hematological Malignancies Training Program

St. Jude is seeking outstanding candidates for postdoctoral fellowship positions in the Childhood Hematological Malignancies Training Program. This prestigious, NIH-sponsored T32 training program leverages the exceptional research infrastructure e to train top-tier postdoctoral fellows with the necessary skills to lead independent research programs. Hematological malignancies are the most common childhood tumors, and despite remarkable advances in survival rates, they remain a leading cause of cancer death.

The last decade has witnessed significant progress in understanding the genetic basis of these tumors, which now requires systematic efforts to translate the wealth of genomic discoveries into new experimental models and therapeutic advances.

Postdoctoral fellows participating in the program will receive training in genomic analysis, experimental modeling, translational science, and preclinical modeling of childhood hematological malignancies. The training program equips the next generation of scientists with the skills and knowledge from multiple disciplines to become leaders in childhood hematological malignancy research. The program provides an enriched training experience supported by faculty with diverse expertise, including mentorship teams for each trainee consisting of scientific and clinical investigators, a clinical shadowing program, and a lecture series encompassing a spectrum of topics ranging from genomic analysis to clinical trial design in childhood hematological malignancies.

Trainees will be closely integrated with the rich portfolio of the St. Jude Comprehensive Cancer Center Hematological Malignancies Program, which coordinates the translation of basic science discoveries to clinical trials.

The T32 training program provides an unrivaled opportunity to train scientists to address critical unmet needs in childhood hematological malignancies.
