Dear All, The Cupido lab in the Department of Chemical Biology & Therapeutics at St Jude Children Research Hospital (Memphis, TN) is seeking postdoctoral fellows who wish to conduct structural and chemical biology research and gain experience as independent researchers. These positions are core funded.
Candidates should have expertise in biochemistry and structural biology. Bioinformatic experience in genomic data analysis is preferred. Successful applicants are expected to lead projects, gain multidisciplinary training in cutting edge structural and molecular technologies, and eventually open new lines of scientific inquiry into outstanding biological problems in chromatin and chemical biology. Enthusiasm in integrating different experimental approaches is valuable, and postdocs will be encouraged to take full advantage of the outstanding scientific technology platforms at St Jude, which include dedicated centers for Cryo-EM, biomolecular NMR, super-resolution microscopy, high-throughput chemical screening, genomics and proteomics. About The Lab The Cupido lab opened on January 2021. Research in the lab focuses on discovering drug-like chemical modulators for protein machines and for the analysis of molecular mechanisms that control the flow of genetic information (i.e. gene transcription and mRNA splicing). Our efforts are highly multidisciplinary, integrating small molecule chemistry with structural and genomic approaches. One major focus is to understand the precise mechanism and regulation of nucleic acid-interacting ATPases whose aberrant function is implicated in cancer development. We seek to control the dynamics of these protein machines using small molecules we design, identify new pharmacological approaches, and test hypotheses for the development of novel cancer therapeutics. The lab is equipped with brand new biochemistry and chemical biology equipment and has full access to unparalleled research resources and expertise in an open and collaborative environment at St Jude.
