- 12:00 (UTC) Country Italy Type of Contract To be defined Job Status Not Applicable Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No /ph3Offer Description /h3pThis project proposes the novel idea that the balancebr/between nuclear kinases and phosphatases is crucial forbr/skeletal muscle homeostasis during aging. To test thisbr/hypothesis, the candidate will use different techniques andbr/novel tools (e.g., pooled optical CRISPR -FRET screenings,br/nuclear-targeted biosensors, spatial proteomics of nuclei inbr/single fibers). The identification of new targets involved inbr/age-related nuclear dysfunction and the conceptual ideabr/that reframes sarcopenia as a nuclear signalling disorder,br/will be important to advance the knowledge in the field ofbr/aging. /ppThe public call with detailed attendance and selection rules (Art 4 and 6) can be found at: selections are open to candidates, Italian or foreigner, in possession, on the date of the deadline for submitting applications for the admission to the selection, of a master's degree or single-cycle, preferably in Biotechnology
