About this position
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate / Postdoctoral Fellow position in Oncology focused on pediatric cancer metabolism. The work is based in the laboratory of Dr. Min Ni in the Division of Molecular Oncology and Department of Oncology.
The project sits at the intersection of metabolism, biochemistry, molecular biology, developmental biology, cancer biology, and computational biology. Research directions include identifying metabolic vulnerabilities and biomarkers in pediatric cancers, understanding how metabolic adaptation affects therapeutic response, defining metabolic deficiencies and therapeutic opportunities in metabolic and neurodevelopmental disorders, and developing high-throughput mass spectrometry and computational pipelines. The lab uses metabolomics, isotope tracing, single-cell and spatial multiomics, preclinical models, LC-MS/GC-MS platforms, genetic mouse models, and clinically relevant disease models.
Eligibility: applicants must hold a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree. A strong background in metabolism, biochemistry, molecular biology, developmental biology, cancer biology, or a related field is required. Experience in metabolomics, mouse genetics, and/or computational biology is preferred but not mandatory. The ideal candidate will be independent, creative, intellectually curious, and productive.
Funding: this is a paid postdoctoral position; salary is commensurate with experience.
How to apply: send a CV, a brief cover letter describing research interests and career goals, and a list of three references to Dr. Min Ni. The job post provides an apply-on-website link and lists the contact email [email protected].
