- (2400003M)
- Commitment & contract:_ _collaboration contract_

**WHO WE ARE**

At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.

**YOUR TEAM**

The **_GENOMIC SCIENCE_**_ _Research Unit is coordinated by Dr. Francesco Nicassio, who has extensive experience in **_Genomics_**_ _and _**_Non-Coding RNA biology_**_._ The lab is engaged in a number of projects in areas of cancer genomics, development and stem cells focusing on the role of noncoding RNA transcripts. Notably, our research activity is based on the integration of **Experimental models** with **Computational methodologies**, pointing out the reciprocal regulation of coding and non-coding RNAs.

Representative publications can be found here:

- RNA modifications detection by comparative Nanopore direct RNA sequencing - **Nat Commun.** 2021 doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-27393-3
- Nanopore ReCappable sequencing maps SARS-CoV-2 5′ capping sites and provides new insights into the structure of sgRNAs - **Nucleic Acid Res**. 2022 doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkac144
- Benchmarking of computational methods for m6A profiling with Nanopore direct RNA sequencing - **Brief Bioinform.** 2024 doi: 10.1093/bib/bbae001 PMID: 38279646

Within the team, your **main responsibilities** will be:

- Developing new computational methods and analytical strategies to characterize the role of RNA modifications in a broad range of biological contexts, such as regulation of long non-coding RNAs, biogenesis and maturation of microRNAs and mechanisms of cancer progression and chemo-resistance;
- Coordinating and co-supervising junior members of the lab, participate to meetings and be involved in disseminating results from the Research Line Genomic Science headed by Dr. Francesco Nicassio.

**REQUIREMENTS**
- PhD level degree in a natural science discipline, such as Biology, Biotechnology, Mathematics, Physics, or similar
- Documented experience in genomics, bioinformatics and scientific programming in R or Python
- Good data analysis skills and a basic understanding of statistics
- Ability to properly report and organize data
- Good command in spoken and written English
- Team-working ability
- High motivation to learn
- Experience on Nanopore sequencing

**EXTRA AWESOME**
- Good level of knowledge on the biology of RNA modifications
- Experience with bioinformatics workflow management tools such as Nextflow or SnakemakeGood communication skills
- Strong problem solving attitude
- Spirit of innovation and creativity
- Ability to work in a challenging and international environment
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment

**COMPENSATION & BENEFITS**
- Competitive salary package for international standards
