The group headed by Prof. Valeria Poliat the Department of Molecular Biotechnology and Health Sciences, University of Turin, is looking for motivated candidates, committed to cancer research, to be enrolled as post-doctoral fellowsandtake part in the AIRC-funded project entitled "Exploiting network analysis to unravel breast cancer molecular features and identify novel targets".

The post-doctoral fellowship(Assegno di Ricerca), potentially funded for three years,will have agross annual salary in the range between 25,000 and 30,000 Euros,dependingon experience. The candidate will have proven experience in cell culture (growth, characterization, transfection, infection, cloning), in the main molecular and cell biologytechniques and in biochemical analyses. Previous experience in cancer researchand bioinformatics skillswill be considered a plus.

The project,is based on an analysis of gene co-expression networks in mammary tumors (Savino et al.,doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/570051) that allowed us to identify potential central regulators of gene expression modules strongly correlated with poor prognosis in triple-negative / basal-like breast tumors. The goal is to functionally and transcriptionally validate the identified targets in a series of human breast cancer cell lines.

Interested candidates might feel free to contact Valeria Poli for further details at the following address: valeria.poli@unito.it, Department of Molecular Biotechnology and Health Sciences,University of Turin,Molecular Biotechnology Center, Via Nizza 52, 10126 Turin.

Applications, by email at the above address,must contain a detailed curriculum, a letter of intent and the contact of 3 potential referees. The selection will be based oncurriculum and interview, online or in person depending on the possibilities. Deadline for applications is September 30th, 2022.
