About this position
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is advertising a computational postdoc in the lab of Peijun Ma (Assistant Member). The position focuses on bacterial genomics, transcriptomics, and single-cell genomics, with an emphasis on developing new computational methods and next-generation tools for bacterial single-cell analysis.
The lab’s recent Nature Communications paper highlights the scientific direction: bacterial cell states, antibiotic-induced transcriptional reprogramming, survival, microbial heterogeneity, and systems-level analysis of bacterial responses. This makes the opening especially relevant for candidates interested in microbial genomics, computational biology, systems biology, and quantitative analysis of single-cell data.
Institution: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, United States.
Position type: Postdoctoral research opening.
Research areas: bacterial genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell genomics, microbial genomics, computational biology, bacterial single-cell analysis, antibiotic response, systems biology.
Eligibility highlights: The post specifically seeks a computationally trained postdoc. No additional formal requirements such as degree level beyond postdoctoral status, language tests, GPA, or citizenship restrictions are stated in the post.
Funding: The post does not provide salary or stipend details. It is presented as a research position in an established lab at St. Jude.
Application: Interested candidates should review the attached job description and contact the lab/announcer for further instructions. The post also encourages sharing the opportunity with others who may be interested.
Related publication: The linked Nature Communications article describes how pre-treatment bacterial cell states shape antibiotic-induced transcriptional reprogramming and survival, underscoring the lab’s focus on bacterial heterogeneity and single-cell approaches.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
