Ask your faculty to be nominated for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital symposium
Open nominations for students to be considered for the 23rd annual St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital National Graduate Student Symposium (NGSS). The NGSS is an exceptional academic and professional development opportunity for Ph.D. students and will be held March 25-28, 2025, on the St. Jude campus.
The NGSS is an all-expenses-paid symposium to which top Ph.D. students from around the country are invited to participate. To be eligible, students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, with estimated graduation between April 2025 and July 2026. Preference will be given to students whose work is relevant to ongoing research at St. Jude. Specifically, in areas of Biostatistics, Bone Marrow Transplant & Cellular Therapy, Cell & Molecular Biology, Chemical Biology & Therapeutics, Computational Biology, Developmental Neurobiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Epidemiology & Cancer Control, Genetics, Global Pediatric Medicine, Hematology, Host-Microbe Interactions, Immunology, Infectious Diseases, Oncology, Pathology, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Psychology and Biobehavioral Science, Radiation Oncology, Structural Biology, Surgery, and Tumor Cell Biology.
The NGSS is not advertised. Students may apply only if they are nominated by faculty. To nominate students, please visit stjude.org/ngss and complete a simple form. You may nominate multiple students, but nominations must be received by October 16th, 2024. We would appreciate it if you could forward this information to your Graduate Program Directors or other faculty members who may wish to nominate outstanding students. Nomination of exceptional under-represented minority students is encouraged.
Invitations to apply will be sent to students in late October. For those graduating before April 2025 who may be interested in postdoctoral fellowships at St. Jude, they may review stjude.org/postdoc and our open positions: https://talent.stjude.org/postdoc/jobs.
Furthermore, I would appreciate your help advertising the St. Jude virtual research career, education, and training fair to be held on Wednesday, September 25, from 10 AM – 3 PM CDT. Registration is FREE through THIS LINK. Please encourage your students to join us for a day of networking and learning about opportunities at St. Jude. The full agenda and schedule are available on the EVENT WEBPAGE.
