Dear all, The Cupido lab at St Jude Children Research Hospital (Memphis, TN) is seeking postdoctoral fellows who wish to conduct structural and chemical biology research and gain experience as independent researchers. These positions are core funded and the expected start date will be in January 2022 but can be flexible.
Candidates should have expertise in biochemistry and structural biology. Programming and/or bioinformatic experience in data analysis is preferred. Successful applicants are expected to lead projects and gain multidisciplinary training in cutting edge structural and molecular technologies. This is a great opportunity for enthusiastic postdocs, who will be encouraged to integrate different experimental approaches and take full advantage of the outstanding scientific technology platforms at St Jude, including dedicated, state-of-the-art centers for Cryo-EM, X-Ray crystallography, biomolecular NMR, and high-throughput chemical and genomic screenings, among others. About The Lab The Cupido lab opened on January 2021 in the Department of Chemical Biology & Therapeutics, is well equipped for biochemistry and chemical biology research and has full access to unparalleled research resources and expertise in an open and collaborative environment at St Jude. Our research focuses on discovering drug-like chemical modulators for protein machines and for the analysis of molecular mechanisms that control the flow of genetic information (i.e. gene transcription and mRNA splicing). Our efforts are highly multidisciplinary, integrating structural and genomic approaches with small molecule chemistry. One major focus is to understand the mechanism and regulation of nucleic acid-interacting enzymes whose aberrant function is implicated in cancer development. We seek to control the dynamics of these protein machines using small molecules we design, identify new pharmacological approaches, and test hypotheses for the development of novel cancer therapeutics. To apply, please send a cover letter emphasizing research background and career goals, and a CV to tommaso.cup...@stjude.org<mailto:tommaso.cup...@stjude.org>.
