Napoli, Campania, Italia Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia A tempo pieno

Join a dynamic team of researchers in the field of synthetic biology for immunology

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced researcher to join our team at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Naples, Italy. The successful candidate will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where junior and senior scientists collaborate to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.

The Synthetic and Systems Biology for Biomedicine Research Unit is coordinated by Velia Siciliano, who has extensive experience in mammalian synthetic biology with an interest to answer fundamental biology-related questions and develop biomedical applications.

The research focuses on the development of synthetic biology-based diagnostic and medical tools, including the engineering of novel biomedical sensors for microRNAs in cell-free extracts, with the aim of harnessing the capability of synthetic circuits to develop improved engineered T cell therapies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct research in synthetic biology for immunology, including the development of novel biomedical sensors and engineered T cell therapies
  • Collaborate with junior and senior scientists in the group to achieve shared research goals
  • Contribute to the development of synthetic biology-based diagnostic and medical tools

Requirements

  • MSc degree in Molecular Biology/Biotechnology, and similar disciplines
  • At least 6 months of experience in general molecular biology and immunology techniques (molecular cloning, PCR, DNA/RNA electrophoresis, T cell isolation and manipulation, etc)
  • Essential expertise: cell biology, cell lines and primary cells culture, molecular biology, flow cytometry
  • Good command of spoken and written English

What We Offer

  • A yearly gross salary ranging between 18,000.00 and 20,000.00
  • Candidates from abroad or Italian citizens who have carried scientific research activity permanently abroad and meet specific requirements may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years

Please submit your application using the online form and including a detailed CV, cover letter expressing your interest in the group and synthetic biology applied to immunology, and contact details of your thesis supervisors.

Application's deadline: October 31st. Interviews will be held the first week of November 2024.
