Post-doctoral Position in 3D Chromatin Architecture - Genova, Italia - Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia
Descrizione
Post-doctoral position in 3D chromatin architecture and non-coding RNAs
Z)- Commitment & contract: collaboration contract_
WHO WE ARE
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 headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary 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.
The final goal is to understand how ncRNAs can induce and/or maintain 3D promoter-enhancer contacts, which ultimately determines the transcriptional program that dictates stemness and tumorigenesis.
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:
- Perform experiments in the area of 3D chromatin conformation, stem cells, non-coding RNAs and epitranscriptomics.
- Use advanced molecular biology techniques for the manipulation of chromatin, RNA, DNA and proteins.
- Assist in generating preliminary data and figures for grant proposals
- Supervise and mentor junior members of the team
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SHINE
- A PhD in Biology including Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or Genetics
- Previous experience in stem cell culture and advanced molecular biology techniques
- Knowledge of NGS technologies, including but not limited to CHIPseq, RNAseq, ATACseq etc
- A strong publication record
- Excellent command in spoken and written English
EXTRA AWESOME
- Experience in 3D chromatin conformation assays (e.g. Hi-C and Hi-ChIP etc)
- Previous research experience in RNA biology (noncoding RNAs is a plus)
- Ability to perform genomic and epigenomic editing techniques in stem cells using CRISPR(d)Cas technologies
- Ability to work in a challenging and international environment
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Competitive salary package for international standards
- Private health care coverage
- Wide range of staff discounts
WHAT'S IN FOR YOU?
