YOUR TEAM
You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where molecular biologist, genomic technologists and computational scientists collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
The study involves the use of molecular biology and next-generation sequencing techniques to investigate the role of LINE-1 retrotransposons as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the epigenetic and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression during developmental processes of the murine and human brain by taking advantage of in vitro and in vivo models, and how dysregulations of LINE-1 retrotransposon activity could impact the onset and development of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders.
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:
- Analysis of RNA protein interaction networks, nanopore sequencing, neuronal cells cultures
- Participate and support a constructive working environment
- Communicating and collaborating with your team workers
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SHINE
- A PhD in molecular biology, genomics, neurobiology or a related discipline
- A strong background in (molecular) biology
- Good communication skills and willingness to collaborate are essential
