About the role
- A postdoctoral research associate position is available with Dr.
- The work will combine mouse genetic models with genome-wide profiling and mechanistic assays to define how key transcriptional regulators engage cofactors and select cis-regulatory elements to control gene expression in neural progenitors.
- Findings are expected to reveal fundamental principles of cell fate specification and shed light on lineage infidelity during diseases such as cancer.
Responsibilities
- Perform and troubleshoot genomics assays (e.g., bulk RNA-seq, CUT&RUN, ATAC-seq, and single-cell RNA-seq), and integrate datasets to identify regulatory mechanisms and key targets.
- Develop and apply in vitro mechanistic assays to study transcription factor (TF) interactions and TF-DNA interactions.
- Maintain rigorous documentation and reproducible analysis workflows.
- Ability to design experiments rationally and analyze data critically.
- Our lab conducts rigorous, mechanism-driven fundamental research and provides personalized mentoring that supports research excellence and long-term career development.
- Jude fosters a vibrant postdoc community that supports a well-balanced life.
- Technology may support portions of our process, but recruiting decisions involve human review and engagement.
- A Sense of Community: St. Jude fosters a vibrant postdoc community that supports a well-balanced life. A dynamic environment promotes connections and camaraderie among postdocs from all backgrounds.
Skills
- Hands-on experience with standard molecular biology techniques (e.g., molecular cloning).
- Ability to perform experiments consistently and rigorously.
- Clear scientific communication (writing, figure preparation, and presentations) and strong collaboration skills.
- Strong background in developmental neurobiology and/or gene regulation.
- Experience in biochemistry and molecular biology skills (protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions).
- Computational analysis of sequencing data (R/Python or established pipelines).
- Strong publication record.
Compensation
- Embark on your journey with a competitive salary starting at $72,500 a year, comprehensive benefits and generous relocation assistance, reflecting our commitment to recognize and invest in talent.
