Description: The IMMERGE MSCA Doctoral Network aims to recruit 12 outstanding doctoral candidates to investigate Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) across various disciplines. The selected candidate for Doctoral Candidate 6 will focus on dissecting the role of dysfunctional telomeres in stem cell biology and immunity. The project will involve generating DC-like human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) using CRISPR-Cas technology to study the mechanisms underlying bone marrow failure and immune dysfunctions in patients with Dyskeratosis Congenita (DC). The research will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Raffaella Di Micco at Ospedale San Raffaele SRL, Milan, with planned secondments at other partner institutions.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should apply through the IMMERGE website by filling out the online recruitment platform (Personio) and submitting the required documents, including a CV and a motivation letter specific to the position.
