Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine

10 positions (PhDs, Postdocs, Technicians) in cancer research.

The Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine (IIGM) is a research foundation dedicated to the promotion of translational research and precision medicine through the training of young scientists in the fields of human genomics, systems biology, immunology and bioinformatics.

The IIGM is seeking 10 young researchers (PhD, Postdoc, Technician) to join its laboratories of Genetics and Molecular Epidemiology, Cancer Genomics and Bioinformatics, Genomic Instability and Tumour Immunity and Chemical Biology to collaborate in the characterization of drug-tolerance in gastrointestinal cancers.

Our research focus

Drug tolerance is one the most critical threats in the therapeutic management of human cancers thought to be responsible for tumour recurrency. Drug tolerance occurs in a small population of cancer cells that evade therapeutic treatment by entering a reversible, slow proliferative state that is difficult to target using conventional approaches. Identifying the biological mechanisms and translating the research findings into viable therapeutic options is the aim of CARESS, a multi-centre research project funded by private donations.

Candidate responsibilities

Conduct interdisciplinary research. 

Support research group activities

Work on an own scientific qualification project.

Candidate profile

The pre-doc/technician candidates should already have wet lab/computational experience and an interest in science. The post-doc candidates should already have proven their potential for scientific excellence by an outstanding quality of their Doctorate/PhD research in molecular bioengineering, cell biology, epigenetics, drug discovery, functional genetic screening, chemical and computational biology, bioinformatics or a related field. Knowledge of Italian is an advantage, but due to the international character of the research environment not strictly necessary.

We offer:

The Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine offers an outstanding interdisciplinary network of potential cooperation partners, combining university and non-university research as well as science and business. The Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine provides state of art Genomics and single-cell Genomics Sequencing platforms.

The Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine provides a family-friendly working environment with flexible working options.

Competitive remuneration is based on the candidates' personal qualifications.

30 days of vacation per calendar year.

The positions are offered on a fixed-term basis for a maximum of 3 years, renewable annually. Both positions are full-time (40 hours per week). Please attach to your CV a covering letter, a research proposal (for postdoc applicants only), certificates, transcripts including all grades of your previous qualifications, and lists of publications.
