Two fully supported research positions are immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Dafne Campigli Di Giammartino at the Center for Human Technologies at IIT, located in Genova- Italy https://www.iit.it/it/cht-erzelli
Research Summary:
Research activities in the group of Dr Campigli Di Giammartino aim at understanding how non-coding elements (such as enhancers and non-coding RNAs) and their epigenetic/epitranscriptomic modifications regulate 3D genome architecture, gene expression and cell identity. To address this question, we use cutting-edge chromatin conformation assays (e.g.Hi-C, Hi-ChIP, Micro-C) in conjunction with other -omics techniques (e.g. ChIPseq, RNA-seq etc.) and in combination with CRISPR-based genetic and epigenetic engineering tools in mouse stem cells as well as in human tumor stem cells.

The laboratory is an integral part of the IIT RNA Flagship program, it collaborates closely with laboratories of the Human Technopole Functional Genomics unit and is an actve member of the international FANTOM6 project on non-coding RNAs and chromatin regulation, providing the lab with a lively global research community.
About the current positions: We are offering two positions for the duration of 3 years, for a junior research technician (minimum requirement M.Sc) as well as a senior researcher position (minimum requirement PhD degree). Excellent communication skills and a solid knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, gene transcriptional regulation and epigenetics are required, preferably in one of the areas of noncoding RNAs, epigenetics or stem cell biology. Competitive salary and benefits will be provided- more info is provided in the links below.
To apply: Please submit your applications to the official links below, providing your CV, motivation letter and 2-3 reference contacts. You are welcome to inquire via email if you have questions dafne.campigli@iit.it
