Job description

We are excited to announce a researcher position available in the laboratory of Dr. Charles Roberts in the Division of Molecular Oncology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. Dr. Roberts is a leader in the field of cancer epigenetics, and his research has provided new insights into the central role of chromatin remodeling perturbations in cancer, discoveries that have been translated into investigational therapies for both pediatric and adult cancer patients. His research specifically focuses on SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin remodeling complexes. Perturbation of these complexes has broad relevance to cancer as at least nine genes that encode SWI/SNF subunits are collectively mutated in over 20% of all cancers, making this the most frequently mutated chromatin regulator in human malignancies. Research in the Roberts laboratory is designed to discover the mechanisms by which SWI/SNF complexes regulate chromatin and transcriptional control and lineage specification, and the mechanisms by which mutation of SWI/SNF subunits drive cancer formation. We also seek to identify specific vulnerabilities that are conferred by SWI/SNF mutation with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic opportunities.

Dr. Roberts’ research is highly regarded, and he has been elected to the American Association of Clinical Research, the Society for Pediatric Research, the American Pediatric Society, and American Association of Physicians. He is a passionate mentor and is fully committed to training the next generation of scientists. In addition to being the Director of the NCI designated St. Jude Comprehensive Cancer Center, Dr. Roberts leads a very successful well-funded team with postdoctoral scientists, graduate students, researchers, scientists, and dedicated bioinformaticians.

As a researcher in the Roberts lab, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the trajectory of ongoing projects at the bench and develop scientific writing and presentation skills. Experience in molecular biology, tissue culture, or animal models is preferred but not required.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Performs laboratory experiments as directed using specific and prescribed techniques/protocols.

  • Follows basic protocols, implementing experimental techniques prescribed by supervisor and providing basic troubleshooting where appropriate.

  • Operates lab equipment.

Minimum Experience:

  • no experience required.
