Postdoctoral Researcher in RNA-Protein Interactions at the Molecular Scale

4 settimane fa


Genoa, Liguria, Italia Istituto Italiano Di Tecnologia A tempo pieno

Project Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the Istituto Italiano Di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa, Italy. The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary research group headed by Prof. Alberto Diaspro, working on the development of novel technologies and instruments for fundamental research in optics, life sciences, and smart materials at the nanometer scale.

Research Focus

The project aims to develop original and effective approaches to study RNA-protein interactions directed specifically towards our molecular candidates related to the remodeling of nuclear architecture and chromatin organization during neoplastic transformation/progression of Neuroblastoma (NB) cells. We believe it is crucial to integrate the results obtained with this multidisciplinary approach (genetic engineering / molecular biology / biophysics) with an accurate evaluation, in the different stages of tumorigenesis, of the interactions of specific RNA transcripts in the selected chromatin domains with multiprotein complexes capable of determining structural epigenetic modifications of the chromatin using an advanced optical platform.

Responsibilities

The Postdoctoral Researcher will be responsible for designing and conducting experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and contributing to the development of novel technologies and instruments for fundamental research in optics, life sciences, and smart materials at the nanometer scale. The successful candidate will also be expected to collaborate with other researchers in the group and contribute to the preparation of research papers and presentations.

Requirements

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented individual with a PhD background in a relevant field (genetic engineering, molecular and cellular biology, nanoscale biophysics). The ideal candidate will have documented experience and skills to solve practical problems in biophysics, including optical methods and genetic approaches. Good communication skills, the ability to properly collect, analyze, report, organize, and publish research data, and a strong problem-solving attitude are also essential.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary package, private health care coverage, and a wide range of staff discounts. The Istituto Italiano Di Tecnologia is an equal, inclusive, and multicultural environment that welcomes talented individuals from around the world. If you are passionate about research and innovation, and you are looking for a challenging and international environment, we encourage you to apply.

How to Apply

Please submit your application using the online form and including a detailed CV, university transcripts, cover letter (outlining motivation, experience, and qualifications), and contact details of 2 references. The application deadline is November 6th, 2024.
