Job Description

We are currently seeking talented postdoctoral fellows to join our diverse, engaging, and dynamic research lab. The primary skillset we are seeking would include synthetic organic chemistry, radiochemistry, and/or molecular imaging experience. Additional and specialized training will be provided as needed. A member of the Neumann lab will have the opportunity to enhance their research skills and interests in a diverse, multidisciplinary group at the nexus of chemistry and biology. Accordingly, the opportunity exists for candidates to immerse themselves in world-class collaborations with leading experts in the fields of oncology, neuroscience, and infectious disease. In addition, postdocs have access to a wealth of cutting-edge research core support services. Taken together, a St. Jude postdoc opportunity is an unbounded educational experience for trainees.

The principal focus of the Neumann lab at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is developing novel radiopharmaceuticals with diagnostic and/or therapeutic potential toward improving disease outcomes. We often develop radiopharmaceuticals with the goal of translating them into imaging agents for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to better delineate disease and biological status. Our lab utilizes synthetic organic chemistry and radiochemistry to synthesize these novel molecules and imaging agents. We then characterize their associated biological activity in relevant cell culture and live animal imaging studies with the goal of clinical translation. We frequently use PET/CT and PET/MRI to evaluate our novel imaging agents in live animals. However, we are now also utilizing Focused Ultrasound techniques to improve therapeutic delivery to the Central Nervous System by reversible blood brain barrier disruption and sonodynamic therapy.

Postdoctoral fellows at St. Jude are entitled to incredible benefits including a 24% increase in salary compared to the standard PGY scale, sign-on bonus, a substantial annual allowance for professional development, a laptop computer, paid leave, relocation stipend and assistance, and a generous array of benefits including health, dental and vision coverage, and a retirement savings program.
