St. Jude Children's Research Hospital



The Department of Surgery at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is recruiting faculty at any level to lead a research program in the use of circulating tumor DNA and Next-Gen sequencing techniques to help diagnose and track pediatric solid tumors.

Current interests in the department include basic research in pediatric solid tumor patient-derived xenografts, immunotherapy to target osteosarcoma, and genetic and epigenetic characterization of neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, and hepatoblastoma.

We are searching for candidates with a strong background in circulating tumor DNA techniques to complement the department program in understanding these challenging pediatric solid tumors.

Successful applicants must hold a PhD, MD and/or equivalent degree, have at least three years of relevant postgraduate experience, and have a proven track record of productivity. The candidate is expected, ultimately, to direct a well-funded and productive research laboratory, and to make significant advances in solid tumor research.

Faculty rank will be commensurate with number of years of experience and accomplishments.

The basic research effort in the Department of Surgery at St. Jude is run by a dynamic group of research and clinical faculty with unparalleled resources for research and opportunities to collaborate with basic, translational, and clinical investigators in diverse fields across the institution.

Memphis is a vibrant, thriving, and affordable city at the historic American crossroads of music, trade, food, and culture. St. Jude facilities, recruitment packages and salaries are highly competitive, and a generous benefit package is included.

Interested candidates should submit a curriculum vitae to apply. Also provide a concise summary of research contributions, well-articulated research plan (3-5 pages), and names and contact information of three references (for assistant member positions).
