About this position

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the Moreno Lab led by Dr. Salvador Almagro-Moreno in the Department of Host-Microbe Interactions. The work is based in Memphis, Tennessee, United States.

The project focuses on the emergence and evolution of bacterial pathogens, especially members of the Vibrionaceae, with particular emphasis on Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus. The research sits at the intersection of microbiology, host-pathogen interactions, proteomics, and structural biology, and aims to understand the molecular logic of pathogen emergence, virulence regulation, colonization, and dispersal.

The successful candidate will lead studies that combine molecular microbiology, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, and structural approaches to map microbial toxins and protein complexes in their native cellular contexts. The role involves designing and executing experiments, analyzing large-scale proteomic datasets, interpreting results, and contributing to novel projects and proposals. Collaboration with microbiologists, structural biologists, computational modelers, and chemical biologists is a key feature of the position.

Eligibility highlights include a Ph.D. in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, or a related field, plus a strong foundation in molecular biology, bacteriology, or proteomics. Experience with protein complex analysis, crosslinking chemistry, cryo-EM, integrative modeling, or computational protein-structure analysis is preferred but not required. The post also values scientific productivity, critical thinking, strong communication, independence, teamwork, and mentoring ability.

The position offers a competitive salary starting at $72,500 per year, comprehensive benefits, and generous relocation assistance. No specific application deadline beyond the posted closing date was provided in the text other than 24 Dec 2026. Applicants should apply via the Nature Careers website / external application portal.
