意大利米兰博后职位microRNA

We are seeking a post-doc to join the project “microRNAs degradation dynamics in human cancer” funded by AIRC and coordinated by Dr. Francesco Nicassio at the Center for Genomic Science of IIT@SEMM (https://www.iit.it/it/centers/cgs-semm), located in Milan and one of IIT’s national research nodes.

The candidate will join the “microRNAs and non-coding RNAs” team led by Dr. Francesco Nicassio, which exploits a combination of high-throughput genomic approaches, in silico analysis and sophisticated experimental models to deconvolute the modes and the mechanisms of transcriptome regulation by non-coding RNAs.

The Center benefits from state-of-the-art technological platforms in molecular/cellular biology and genomics; furthermore, it benefits from close ties with other IIT centers and surrounding institutions (IFOM and IEO), located at the Campus.

We are looking for a scientist with experience in the molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology to be hired on AIRC funds to follow this proposal. He/She will be responsible for analysis of decay in human cancer cells by specific oncogenic lesions. He/she will exploit genome editing (CRIPSR/cas9), RNA labeling, next-generation sequencing, single molecule imaging and biochemical approaches to characterize the mechanistic details of miRNA degradation. Prior experience with microRNA biology and related approaches is preferred but not required.

Candidates should have a PhD degree with or without post-doctoral experience and a background in molecular and cellular biology, gene regulation and cancer.
