A post-doctoral position is open in the Gabellini laboratory at San Raffaele Scientific Institute to characterize the molecular pathogenesis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and test novel therapeutic approaches. The project will integrate manipulation of cellular and animal models with genome-wide and functional approaches.
Qualification
We are searching for a highly motivated and career-oriented research fellow with a high level of independence and a PhD degree in molecular and cellular biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or related disciplines. Experience with biochemistry, transcriptomic/epigenomic profiling and leukemia models is essential. Candidates possessing excellent analytical, communication and organizational skills must be able to work independently as well as with interdisciplinary teams.
Place of employment and work
San Raffaele is an international institute with a strong focus on biomedical research, offering an exceptional research environment and cutting-edge platforms. It is located in Milan, a cosmopolitan city, which has been ranked number one for quality of life in Italy: https://www.yesmilano.it/en.
The team
We are interested in understanding the mechanisms and dynamics of gene expression regulation in physiological and disease states. We use in vitro and in vivo approaches to identify RNA profiles, chromatin states, transcription factor binding sites and epigenomes defining functional gene “hubs” and decision points that dynamically coordinate gene programming.
Terms of salary and employment
A 12-month renewable contract will be established. A competitive salary commensurate with the experience and qualifications will be offered to the successful candidate. Operating language in the laboratory is English.
Applications including a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names of (at least) two referees should be sent to: Davide Gabellini at gabellini.davide@hsr.it
