About the role

A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the Yamashita lab.
Using state-of-the-art mouse models, immunologic approaches, and single-cell technologies, the successful candidate will investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern immune-stem cell interactions.
These studies will provide fundamental insights into hematopoietic homeostasis and uncover new therapeutic opportunities for hematologic disease.

Design and perform experiments using mouse models, flow cytometry, molecular biology, and immunological approaches.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to grant and manuscript preparation.
The Yamashita Laboratory seeks to understand how hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain blood production throughout life and how their dysregulation contributes to hematologic disorders.
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.

Demonstrated research productivity and the ability to conduct independent scientific research.
Ability to design and execute experiments, analyze data, and interpret results independently.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative team.

Experience in T cell biology, hematopoiesis, stem cell biology, or bone marrow microenvironment.
Experience with genomic, single-cell, or other high-dimensional data analyses.
Familiarity with CRISPR-based genome engineering, transplantation models, or advanced immunological techniques.
Experience with vaccine development, immunotherapy, or translational immunology.
Interest in translational research related to hematologic disorders.
