From St. Jude's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are looking for an experienced cell biologist to participate in our exciting studies of the human protein kinome.
This Senior Scientist position is part of the Blue Sky Initiative “ Seeing the Invisible in Protein Kinases ” at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN .
As a member of the Cell-Based Assays team, the candidate will use their cell signaling research expertise and knowledge along with cell culture skills to design and perform experiments that translate novel insights into kinase structure and regulation determined in vitro into functional effects in cells.
The candidate will guide junior staff in designing high-quality cell biology experiments, critically review the experimental data generated by the cell biology team, and assist with troubleshooting. The work is diverse, providing an opportunity to study multiple kinases, conduct rigorous background research, and optimize cell-based assays of various types using many different cell lines or primary cells.
The cell-based studies are used not only to validate structural findings but also to discover new kinase-mediated biology or new mechanisms of kinase regulation.
The Blue Sky Initiative “Seeing the Invisible in Protein Kinases” is an interdisciplinary project in The Department of Structural Biology and is supported by US $50 million in institutional funding. This large-scale project leverages ultra-high field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), complemented with cryoEM, X-ray crystallography, data-science and computational approaches, to characterize the conformational landscape of the human kinome.
Knowledge of kinase conformations is then used to discover new biology regarding kinase function and regulation in cells, understand the structural and functional consequences of disease-associated mutations, and identify novel therapeutic opportunities.
Compensation
In recognition of certain U.S. state and municipal pay transparency laws, St. Jude is including a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role. This is an estimate offered in good faith and a specific salary offer takes into account factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets, experience and training, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.
It is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the salary range and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current salary range is $138,320 - $262,080 per year for the role of Cell Assay Lead/Principal Scientist - Blue Sky Kinases.
