al Biology and Therapeutics ( https://www.stjude.org/research/departments-divisions/chemical-biology-therapeutics.html), and Structural Biology ( https://www.stjude.org/research/departments-divisions/structural-biology.html) at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. With ongoing investments into exceptional structural biology, chemical biology and computational facilities, this is an exciting time to join the lab. Accompanying courses will be taken in conjunction with the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. This work will provide a solid introduction to current opportunities in structure-based ligand discovery with relevance for both academia and industry. With its excellent core facilities, highly interactive and supportive environment St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a great place to do research and build a career whilst living in an affordable city. Admission requirements: - a BS or MS degree in pharmacy, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, or other appropriate disciplines. - a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0 - a combined Graduate Record Examination score (verbal and quantitative) of at least 300 - proof of proficiency in English (e.g. TOEFL) Please direct your questions and application package including a cover letter, current CV, and 3 letters of reference to: Dr. Marcus Fischer ( [log in to unmask]) before the end of February 2019.
