We are seeking 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.

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 16^th, 2024. 

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.
