Offer Description

A post-doctoral position is open in the Gabellini laboratory at OSR to characterize the molecular pathogenesis of FSHD muscular dystrophy and test novel therapeutic approaches. The project will integrate manipulation of cellular and animal models of FSHD with genome-wide and functional approaches.

 

Qualification

We are searching for a highly motivated and career-oriented research fellow with a high level of independence and a PhD degree in molecular and cellular biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or related disciplines.

Experience with biochemistry, transcriptomic/epigenomic profiling and muscular dystrophy models is essential. Expertise in the production and use of AAV vectors will provide a selective advantage. Candidates possessing excellent analytical, communication and organizational skills must be able to work independently as well as with interdisciplinary teams.

 

Place of employment and work

San Raffaele is an international institute with a strong focus on biomedical research, offering an exceptional research environment and cutting-edge platforms.

The team

We are interested in understanding the mechanisms and dynamics of gene expression regulation in normal and dystrophic muscle. We use in vitro and in vivo approaches to identify RNA profiles, transcription factor binding sites and epigenomes defining functional gene “hubs” and decision points that dynamically coordinate gene programming.

 

Terms of salary and employment

A 12-month renewable contract will be established.A competitive salary commensurate with the experience and qualifications will be offered to the successful candidate. Operating language in the laboratory is English. Applications including a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names of (at least) two referees should be sent to: Davide Gabellini at [email protected]
