Research in Neuroscience

The Humanitas Research Center is seeking a highly motivated and dynamic individual to join in the "Area Neuro" group.

Successful applicants will join a vibrant young team working on the role of inter-organellar communication in neurodegenerative diseases and will contribute to a project aimed at dissecting cellular pathways leading to neuronal death in the context of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

The team uses human IPSC-derived neurons as a cellular model and takes advantage of gene-editing techniques to develop disease-modeling cell lines.

We have open positions for candidates with different levels of experience, either holding a MSc degree (Laurea Magistrale) or a PhD.

All MSc graduates with a background in Cellular and Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Neurobiology and Cellular Neuroscience are welcome to apply.

Postdocs with a strong neurobiology expertise, and background in Cellular Neuroscience, Biochemistry and Advanced Light microscopy would be optimal candidates.

Prior experience in the field of ALS or inter-organelle communication and with the use of IPSCs will be considered a plus.

All candidate data collected from the application shall be processed in accordance with applicable law: Dlgs 198/2006 e dei Dlgs 215/2003 e 216/2003; privacy ex artt. 13 e 14 del Reg. UE 2016/679.
