Postdoctoral Researcher: Live-Cell Neurobiosensor Imaging

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital; Lauderdale Courts (TN); On-site; USD 60,000 - 80,000; Full time

Job summary

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital invites applications for postdoctoral fellows to build imaging-based biosensor platforms that reveal chromatin states and cell polarity in living neurons.

Fellows design independent projects, using live-cell biosensors, advanced microscopy, differentiation systems, perturbations, and quantitative image analysis to understand intracellular state transitions during neuronal maturation.

Qualifications

• PhD in cell biology, biophysics, gene regulation, neuroscience, or related field.
• Experience in live-cell imaging and/or super-resolution microscopy.
• Proficiency in data analysis with programming (R, Python).

Responsibilities

• Carry out independent postdoctoral projects using live-cell biosensors and imaging.
• Develop experimental frameworks for chromatin-state dynamics and neuron maturation.
• Generate first-author publications and present at meetings.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary team to advance imaging platforms.
