Designation: Research Fellow
Table:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Gross Amount | €29,500.00 |
| Contract Duration | 12 months (approximately from January 20th, 2025) |
| Location | Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology – CIBIO, Trento, Italy |
| Project Code | 2022R8R3LB – CUP E53D23004920006 |
Research Area: BIOS-08/A (Bioinformatic and molecular analyses for the identification of snoRNA retaining transcripts (snoRTs))
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Possession of a PhD in Biological Sciences, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, or Computer Science from an Italian university or an equivalent qualification from abroad. Candidates who have completed their PhD thesis and will obtain their degree before the fellowship start date may also apply, but proof of the degree must be provided before commencing research.
- For non-EU citizens (or citizens of countries with free movement agreements with the EU), a valid self-employed work residence permit covering the entire fellowship duration is required (not needed for application submission, but mandatory for contract signing).
- A strong scientific CV relevant to the research project.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with high-throughput sequencing data analysis (especially RNA-seq).
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python or R).
- Experience applying molecular and cellular biology techniques to RNA studies.
Job Description:
The successful candidate will work within a recently funded PRIN project investigating snoRT non-coding RNA molecules. The research will involve producing and analyzing transcriptomics, translatomics, and RNA interactome datasets to understand snoRT biogenesis, regulatory roles, and involvement in breast cancer.
How to Apply:
To apply, please visit this link and complete the online application form.
Last Date for Application: December 16th, 2024, 12:00 noon. Applications received after this time will not be considered. Note that for applicants with an Italian tax code and Italian ID, access to the application platform requires using SPID (Public Digital Identity System). Applicants must submit a CV, publication list, any relevant certificates, proof of PhD completion (for those who obtained it abroad), and a copy of their ID.
