Familiarity with machine‑learning frameworks (scikit‑learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow) applied to biomedical data.

Preferred

Experience with CRISPR‑Cas9/CRISPRi/a screening data, RNA‑seq, single‑cell or spatial transcriptomics data processing.
Competence in handling multi‑omics and perturbation‑response data, ensuring data quality, reproducibility, and biological interpretability.
Experience in collaborative hybrid settings, interacting with wet‑lab scientists and experimental facilities.
Experience with reproducible research environments (Docker, Snakemake, Nextflow).
Strong mathematical or statistical background.

Benefits & Compensation

4‑year contract under CCNL Chimico Farmaceutico, Employee Level B2.
Salary up to €43,000, depending on seniority.
