About this position
Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Functional and System Metabolism at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, in the lab of Dr. Jian Xu.
The project sits at the intersection of metabolism, epigenomics, single-cell multiomics, biochemistry, hematology/oncology, and cancer biology. The lab studies metabolic processes that control stem cell development, blood disorders, and childhood cancers, using high-throughput metabolomics, epigenome editing, preclinical models, and computational integration of multi-omic datasets.
Potential research directions include targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in genetic blood disorders and therapy response, characterizing metabolic dependencies and biomarkers in childhood cancers, developing high-throughput multi-omic approaches for cancer stem cells, and building computational methods to integrate metabolomics, transcriptomics, and genomics across development and disease.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and/or M.D. and have a strong background in metabolism research, biochemistry, molecular biology, hematology/oncology, or a related field. Independence, flexibility, creativity, and a record of scientific productivity are expected; prior experience in metabolomics, computational biology, and/or hematology-oncology is preferred.
To apply, send a CV, a short summary of research interests and experience, and three references to [email protected]. The posting also provides an external apply-on-website link. Closing date: 2026-10-21.
