Postdoctoral Position in RNA Biology: Human Technopole is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate to join a collaborative research project between the Soskic and Legnini groups. The successful candidate will conduct research in RNA biology in B cells with a focus on posttranscriptional mechanisms controlling B cell differentiation, immune-activation-induced control of RNA splicing, and stability and degradation of antibody RNAs.
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher – RNA Biology in B Cells
Research Area: RNA Biology in B Cells
Location: Milan, Lombardia, Italy
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in genomics, immunology, cell biology, biochemistry, or other relevant disciplines (or PhD to be awarded by January 2025)
- Fluency in English
Preferential requirements: - Experience and interest in B cell biology
- Broad technical and scientific understanding of genomics and molecular biology
- Experience and interest in RNA splicing and metabolism
- Good knowledge of statistics and data analysis approaches for RNA or protein data
- Knowledge of transcriptomic technologies (bulk and single-cell)
- Experience with confocal microscopy
- Independence and flexibility in managing projects and generating new ideas
Job Description:
The successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Designing, performing, and analyzing genomic experiments (e.g., scRNA-seq, CLIP-seq, FLAM-seq) related to B cell biology and antibody production
- Developing innovative approaches to investigate gene expression regulation in B cells
- Generating and recording data, protocols, and/or codes for publication
- Publishing reproducible research
- Interacting and supporting other group members
- Sharing and discussing research results with collaborators
- Presenting scientific results in international meetings
