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

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist to join our team at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.

The successful candidate will be part of the group of Polymers and Biomaterials, headed by Prof. Nicola Tirelli, and will contribute to the development of novel nanoparticle-based formulations for cancer treatment.

The project aims to use hyaluronic acid nanoparticles for the delivery of non-coding RNA and other payloads. The work programme will focus on the chemical synthesis of new multifunctional cationic polymers, the derivatization of hyaluronic acid-based materials, the production of RNA-containing nanoparticles via microfluidic methods, and the study of their uptake, internalization, and transfection efficiency.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in drug delivery, polymer chemistry, or a cognate discipline, and experience in polymerization chemistry, characterization, and derivatization of polysaccharides, as well as good command of spoken and written English.

The compensation and benefits package includes a competitive salary, private health care coverage, and a wide range of staff discounts.

In addition to a dynamic and inclusive work environment, we offer opportunities for professional growth and development, as well as a chance to work on cutting-edge projects that have a real impact on society.

If you are passionate about cancer research and development, and are looking for a challenging and rewarding career opportunity, we encourage you to apply.

Requirements:

  • PhD in drug delivery, polymer chemistry, or a cognate discipline
  • Experience in polymerization chemistry, characterization, and derivatization of polysaccharides
  • Good command of spoken and written English

Desirable Criteria:

  • Experience with confocal microscopy
  • Experience in molecular biology tools (incl. PCR techniques, gel electrophoresis etc)
  • Expertise in the use of microfluidic set-ups

What's in for you?

  • An equal, inclusive, and multicultural environment
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development
  • A dynamic and stimulating culture that drives our mission to contribute to the improvement and well-being of society
