About Us
At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society.
Our Genoa headquarters are strictly interconnected with the other 11 centers around Italy and two outstations based in the US.
We promote excellence in basic and applied research for a truly multidisciplinary scientific experience.Your Team
You will be working in a multicultural group, where computational scientists and molecular biologists collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.
We aim to understand how non-coding elements (DNA/RNA) and their epigenetic/epitranscriptomics modifications regulate 3D genome architecture and gene expression in stem cells and cancer models.
To address this question, we use cutting-edge chromatin conformation assays such as Hi-C, Hi-ChIP and Pore-C in conjunction with other -omics techniques (e.g. ChIP-seq, TT-seq, scRNA-seq) and in combination with CRISPR-based genetic and epigenetic engineering tools.In-house produced data is then integrated with publicly available datasets with the final goal to understand how ncRNAs can induce and/or maintain 3D promoter-enhancer contacts, which ultimately determines the transcriptional program that dictates stemness and tumorigenesis.
As a member of the FANTOM6 project, Postdocs in our lab will have the opportunity to attend and actively participate to the consortium meetings and will have ample opportunities for collaborations within the IIT and with extramural institutions to implement new workflows.
Your main responsibilities will be:
Analysis of next-generation sequencing data and integration of multi-omics data produced by different methods using computational tools and pipelines
Interpretation of data and generation of figures for grant proposals and publications in peer-reviewed journals
Essential Requirements
A PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science or in a related field
Knowledge of programming languages such as R and Phyton and statistical methods applied to biosciences
Proven ability to analyze next-generation sequencing data such as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq etc (previous experience in analysis of chromatin conformation data such as Hi-C will be considered a plus)
Ability to work and think independently with a pro-active attitude, prone to team building and problem solving
Strong publication record
Good command of spoken and written English
Compensation Package
Competitive salary package for international standards
Private health care coverage
Wide range of staff discounts
Candidates from abroad or Italian citizens who permanently work abroad and meet specific requirements, may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years.
