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

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genova, Italy.

The successful candidate will be part of the Polymers and Biomaterials group, headed by Prof. Nicola Tirelli, and will work on the development of 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 researcher will be responsible for the chemical synthesis of new multifunctional cationic polymers, the derivatization of hyaluronic acid-based materials, and the production of RNA-containing nanoparticles via microfluidic methods.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in drug delivery, polymer chemistry, or a related field, and experience in polymerization chemistry, characterization and derivatization of polysaccharides, and cell culture and testing.

We offer a competitive salary package, private health care coverage, and a wide range of staff discounts. The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic and inclusive team, with opportunities for professional growth and development.

Key responsibilities:

  • Design and synthesis of new multifunctional cationic polymers
  • Derivatization of hyaluronic acid-based materials
  • Production of RNA-containing nanoparticles via microfluidic methods
  • Characterization of nanoparticles and their uptake, internalization, and transfection efficiency

Desirable criteria:

  • Experience with confocal microscopy
  • Experience in molecular biology tools (incl. PCR techniques, gel electrophoresis etc)
  • Experience with characterization via light scattering and/or field flow fractionation techniques
  • Expertise in the use of microfluidic set-ups

How to apply:

Please submit your application, including your CV and a cover letter, to [insert contact information]. We look forward to hearing from you
