Postdoctoral Fellowships in Immunology/Cellular Signaling
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
Department of Immunology
Memphis, TN, USA

Postdoctoral Fellowships are available at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to investigate cellular signaling in the immune system. The experimental models include genetically-modified mice and primary immune cells derived from these mice. We are particularly interested in dissecting the role of signaling pathways mediated by MAP kinases and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors in regulating basic immunological and cell biological processes. These include the development, activation, trafficking, cell cycle progression, and death of T cells and dendritic cells. We also aim to define molecular mechanisms of inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune diseases. Please see the following articles (Nature Immunology 8:1236, 2007; PNAS 103: 2274, 2006; Nature Immunology 7: 851, 2006; Journal of Immunology 174:2485, 2005; and EMBO J 23: 1576, 2004) and the website (www.stjude.org/chi) for additional information.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a private, non-profit research institute, located in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, offers a stimulating, highly collaborative research environment with state-of-the-art research resources, along with competitive salary and excellent benefits to postdoctoral fellows.

Highly motivated individuals with a recent Ph.D. in immunology, biochemistry, or cellular and molecular biology, with evidence of scientific accomplishment, are encouraged to apply. Please send curriculum vitae including a list of three references to: Dr. Hongbo Chi (hongbo.chi@stjude.org).
