We are currently seeking nominations of students to be considered for the 19th annual St. Jude Children's Research Hospital National Graduate Student Symposium (NGSS), and 6th annual Future Fellow Research Conference (FFRC). These exceptional academic and professional development opportunities for PhD students will be held April 6-8, and August 3-5, 2021, respectively. The 2021 NGSS will be hosted virtually, however we are waiting until the new year before deciding whether or not the 2021 FFRC will be held on the St. Jude campus.

The NGSS and FFRC are all-expenses-paid symposia to which top PhD students from around the country are invited to participate. To be eligible, students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, with an estimated graduation between April 2021 and July 2022. Preference will be given to students whose work is relevant to ongoing research at St. Jude<http://www.stjude.org/basic-science-faculty>.

These symposia are not advertised. Students may apply only if they are nominated by faculty. To nominate students, please visit stjude.org/ngss<http://www.stjude.org/ngss> and complete a simple form.  You may nominate multiple students, but nominations must be received by October 27th, 2020. Please 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 at the beginning of November. For those graduating before April 2021 who may be interested in postdoctoral fellowships at St. Jude, please review the attached list of current open positions. Visit stjude.org/postdoc<http://www.stjude.org/postdoc> and contact postdoc at stjude.org<mailto:postdoc at stjude.org> for additional information.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
