    Description

    Commitment & contract: 1-year (not-renewable), collaboration contract, founded by Airc IG, Rif Functional and phenotypic characterization of novel TAZ regulators.

    Location: Center for Genomic Science, , Milan, Italy

    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 and multi-disciplinary group, where biologists, biotechnologists, computational scientists, information technology engineers, physicists and chemists collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.

    The ideal candidate will work within the Cancer Biology Unit lead by Dr. Stefano Campaner.

    The successful candidate will be involved in the study of oncogenic transcription factors. This study is based on a combination of in-vivo and in-vitro studies aimed at dissecting the role of YAP/TAZ and Myc by using genome wide chromatin studies (ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq) coupled with genome wide mRNA expression (RNA-seq, Quanta-seq and SLAM-seq) and single cell analyses (sc-RNA-seq and sc-ATAC-seq).

    We are seeking a highly motivated, ambitious and talented scientist to join our lab. The ideal candidate should be highly skilled in computational biology and bioinformatics, with proven experience in coding using both scripting languages as C/C++, Phyton and statistical languages as R.
