The laboratory directed by CNR researcher Dr. Marianna Leonzino in the "Area Neuro" of the Humanitas Research Hospital is seeking talented and highly motivated researchers at all career stages. Successful applicants will join a vibrant young team working on the role of interorganellar communication in neurodegenerative diseases and will contribute to a project aimed at dissecting cellular pathways leading to neuronal death in the context of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The project is part of a collaborative effort involving also the lab of Dr. Paolo Colombi (IGM-CNR). The team uses human IPSC-derived neurons as a cellular model and takes advantage of gene-editing techniques to develop disease-modeling cell lines.

PostDoc position at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia – Animal studies For a project on the characterization of the safety profile of a drug in mice, we are seeking for a Post-Doc scientist to work at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genova, Italy. The project begins in September 2024 and it is expected to last 2-3 years. The selected candidate will perform all the animal activities envisaged for the project: animal handling and characterization at different life stages as well as behavioral studies. She/he will set up the appropriate in vivo behavioral models and study the pharmacokinetic biodistribution of the drug. Retribution and benefits are competitive and will be defined based on the Applicant’s experience.

A 16 months fellowship (“assegno di ricerca”) is available at IEO and UPO (Universita’ del Piemonte Orientale) starting from July 2024, in the lab of Prof. Giuliana Pelicci, for research work on the epigenetic profiling in liquid biopsy for personalized medicine in meningioma patients, in the context of a PRIN research project in collaboration with Bonaldi group and Istituto Neurologico Besta (Prof. Di Meco). The position will be assigned through a ministerial competition: you can find all details on how to apply in the attached document and at the link: https://www.uniupo.it/it/ricerca/assegni-di-ricerca/bandi-assegni-di-ricerca/bando-dr-n-4742024-id-509

We are seeking for highly motivated post-doctoral researchers interested in working in a stimulating research environment, and leading ambitious projects aiming to discover new strategies to curb metastatic proclivity or eradicate metastatic outgrowth by digging into the connections between mechanosignaling and oncogenic pathways and their role in controlling the crosstalk of tumor cells with the tissue microenvironment. The research is funded by AIRC 5x1000 program “Metastasis as a mechanodisease” ID22759.

Dr Ishier Raote seeks to recruit a postdoc to lead an interdisciplinary project on the cellular secretory pathway and how it is (re)organised under pathological conditions including fibrosis or in tumours.

The Haucke lab (www.leibniz-fmp.de/haucke) seeks to recruit a postdoc in biochemistry and/ or structural biology to analyze the molecular architecture and function of protein complexes that control membrane and organelle dynamics in health and disease. Our main focus is on the endolysosomal system that we study using a combination of biochemical/ structural biological, genetic, and cell biological approaches.
