Symposium



Dear Joy,



It was a pleasure to speak with you at the SACNAS National Diversity in
STEM Conference in Salt Lake City last week. As a reminder of our
discussion, we are currently seeking nominations of students to be
considered for either the 17th annual St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
National Graduate Student Symposium (NGSS), or 4th annual Future Fellow
Research Conference (FFRC). These exceptional academic and professional
development opportunities for PhD students will be held March 26-30, and
June 5-7, 2018, respectively on the St. Jude campus in Memphis, TN.

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 March 2018 and July 2019. Preference will be given to
students whose work is relevant to ongoing research at St. Jude.
Information about our research programs is available at
stjude.org/basic-science-faculty*,* and our current *Scientific Report *can
be viewed at www.stjude.org/sci-rpt

These symposia are not advertised; thus, students can apply only if they
are nominated by a faculty advisor. To nominate students for both events,
please forward names, graduation dates, and student email addresses to me (
deanna.tremblay at stjude.org) no later than November 3, 2017. Please also
consider forwarding 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 nominated students at the beginning of
November, and completed applications must be received by 12:00 noon Central
Time on November 27, 2017. A committee of St. Jude faculty members will
review applications and select students who will be invited to attend
either symposium. Those selected will be notified by the end of January,
2018.

For students graduating before March 2018 who are interested in
postdoctoral fellowships at St. Jude, please contact postdoc at stjude.org for
additional information.



I am happy to answer questions regarding the symposia and postdoctoral
opportunities at St. Jude, and I look forward to receiving your nominations.

Sincerely,

*Deanna C. Tremblay, MSc*
