Company Information
As a leading institution for pediatric treatment and research, with a focus on childhood catastrophic diseases, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital offers exceptional resources and a supportive environment for scientific career development. The hospital has been consistently ranked as one of the top 10 best places to work in academia by The Scientist Magazine for seven consecutive years, and one of the best places to work by Glassdoor since 2018. St. Jude is a top-ranked hospital (#1 for pediatric cancer specialty in the U.S. in 2017 and #2 in 2022) and a world-class basic research institute with over 300 faculty members.
