{"h1": "Postdoctoral Fellowship in Metastatic Melanoma and Ferroptosis", "p": "We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our laboratory at the University of Padua. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to a three-year project funded by the MFAG AIRC, investigating the link between ferroptosis and aggressive melanoma dissemination through the blood.

Our research aims to understand how the switch from mesenchymal to amoeboid migration modes, dedifferentiation, and ferroptosis sensitivity are interlinked in metastatic melanomas, based on the identification of a new molecular pathway that connects small GTPases, gene transcription, and metabolism.

The postdoctoral position is open immediately and will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found. The position is for three years, with a one-year starting contract and a two-year extension already covered by available grants. The net salary is equivalent to that of an Italian entry-level Assistant Professor, and adequate to comfortably support a foreign worker in Italy.

We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in cell culture, imaging techniques, and basic molecular biology. Good communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team are required. Previous experience in metabolism studies and/or a certificate in animal experimentation is a plus. Priority will be given to candidates with a proven record of scientific publications (preprinted, published, or under review in international peer-reviewed journals).

Our laboratory is a growing and dynamic environment, with several projects at advanced stages of development. We have an extensive network of National and International collaborations providing us with state-of-the-art experimental techniques and approaches. The University of Padua is committed to developing an Academic environment where all talents can flourish regardless of gender, cultural background, nationality, or impairments.

If you are interested in joining our team, please submit your application, including a CV with a brief research synopsis, and complete contact information for 2 references.", "h2": "Requirements", "ul": ["PhD in biological, biotechnology, or pharmaceutical sciences", "Strong background in cell culture, imaging techniques, and basic molecular biology", "Good communication skills and ability to work independently and as part of a team", "Previous experience in metabolism studies and/or certificate in animal experimentation (plus)"], "h2": "What We Offer", "ul": ["Three-year postdoctoral position", "One-year starting contract and two-year extension covered by available grants", "Net salary equivalent to Italian entry-level Assistant Professor", "Opportunity to apply for competitive National and International Fellowships"]}
