Join Our Team!We are excited to announce an exciting opportunity for a Researcher Position in the laboratory of Dr. Charles Roberts in the Division of Molecular Oncology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This position is ideal for individuals passionate about cancer research, particularly in the field of cancer epigenetics. Dr. Roberts is a prominent leader in cancer epigenetics, focusing on the SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin remodeling complexes.
