Postdoctoral Researcher

Postdoctoral Researcher – Circuit Reconstruction & Regenerative Neuroscience (ERC CUSTOM_MADE)Department of Neuroscience, University of Turin, ItalyProjectWe aim to rebuild functional striatal circuits by grafting human striatal progenitors with optimized properties in preclinical models of Huntington's disease, combining circuit-tracing with single-cell and spatial omics.ResponsibilitiesDevise strategies and tools for single-neuron input/output mapping integrated with molecular profiling (e.g., viral barcoding, retro/anterograde tracers).Analyze single-cell/nucleus and spatial transcriptomics datasets; integrate multi-omics.Develop and maintain reproducible bioinformatics pipelines and contribute to data/documentation best practices.Required qualifications and desired skillsPhD in neuroscience, bioinformatics/computational biology, bioengineering or related.Track record in one or more: single-cell/spatial omics, molecular barcoding, viral circuit tracing.Proficiency in R/Python; statistics for high-dimensional data.Molecular biology experience (cloning/molecular barcodes technologies) is welcome.Nice to have (not required): hPSC engineering/differentiation (e.g., CRISPR/AAV).Environment & resourcesThe candidate will integrate in a lab with strong multidisciplinary interests, and within a stimulating partnership across molecular neuroscience, bioengineering, stem cell, systems biology, and regenerative medicine.TermsFull-time, initial 2-year contract with possibility of renewal; salary commensurate with experience.Start date: first half of ****.Please send one PDF to containing:1. your CV2. 1-page cover letter describing fit and a recent project3. contact info for at least 2 referees.Subject: Postdoc CUSTOM_MADE – YourNameReview is rolling until filled; shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview.#J-*****-Ljbffr
