The posting

A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control.

The Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control is seeking outstanding candidates with PhD, MD, or equivalent, for postdoctoral fellowship positions in childhood cancer survivorship research. This fellowship training will involve proposing, executing, and communicating results of research projects you lead with your mentor(s) focused on survivorship research topics that are consistent with your career development goals. We provide an exceptionally strong scientific collaborative environment that provides opportunities to work with leading researchers of the field, utilizing rich supportive structures and resources of the Department and St. Jude. The Department houses both the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) and the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE), two exceptional resources for research on childhood cancer survivors. They contain comprehensive, long-term characterizations of diverse “late-effects” outcomes of childhood cancer and its therapy, together with medical-record abstraction of treatment exposure information (including body-region/organ-specific radiation dosimetry and cumulative doses of many chemotherapy drugs), whole genome/exome sequencing along with other omics biomarkers, physical performance measures (cardiopulmonary fitness, muscle strength, mobility, neurosensory function), neurocognitive testing results, patient-reported outcomes (symptomatology, quality-of-life, health habits), and social determinants of health. A large percentage of publications from these two studies, including those led by our postdoc fellows and their mentors, appear in high-impact journals. Because survivorship research entails diverse research areas of clinical and population sciences, candidates from various scientific/medical backgrounds with strong training in research are encouraged to apply.

Other benefits include access to exceptional core facilities and biostatistical/data science support to learn and help advance your research, highly competitive stipends and benefits, and institutional/departmental fostering of professional development. Our overarching goal is to train fellows such that, at the completion of fellowship, applicants will be well-positioned for competitive academic and research positions in survivorship and population science research.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the world’s premier research and treatment centers for pediatric cancer and childhood disease. It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children.

Successful applicants will have excellent communications skills and a PhD, MD, or equivalent in a relevant field. Currently, only one position is available, funded through our departmental budget. In summer 2027, we expect additional positions, funded by our department as well as a T32 grant from the National Institutes of Health. Both citizens or noncitizen nationals of the United States are welcome to apply (a T32 appointee must be a citizen, a noncitizen national, or a lawful permanent resident of the United States).

We are committed to a human-centered hiring experience. Technology may support portions of our process, but recruiting decisions involve human review and engagement. Learn more about our approach to AI.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
