PpbBuild the science that shapes the future of human health. /b /p pbApplication closing date: June 21st, 2026 /b /p h3Join a place where ambitious science thrives /h3 pHuman Technopole (Milan) is a rapidly expanding life science institute where international researchers and cutting-edge technologies converge to accelerate biomedical discovery. Our mission is to transform bold scientific ideas into advances that improve human health. /p pWithin this mission, the Casañal Group combines cryo-electron microscopy, biochemistry, biophysics, and structural proteomics to dissect the molecular machineries of RNA modification, a rapidly expanding and biomedically important layer of gene regulation whose dysregulation drives cancer, neurodevelopmental disorders, and viral infection. We focus on the human m6A and m5C writer complexes, their crosstalk with other gene-expression machineries, and the translation of our atomic-resolution insights into therapeutic opportunities. /p pWe are seeking an ambitious, highly motivated Postdoc with a strong interest in the structural and functional characterisation of m6A and m5C writers and erasers, and their multi-subunit assemblies on RNA and chromatin, using integrative approaches. bPrevious expertise in structural biology, RNA biology, and/or biochemistry of multi-protein complexes is essential. /b We encourage international candidates to apply and will support applications to external Postdoctoral fellowship schemes (EMBO, Marie Curie, HFSP, etc.). /p h3Your mission /h3 ul liConduct research, develop innovative methods and tools, and ensure accurate documentation of activities. /li liGenerate high-quality data, maintain proper records, and contribute to writing scientific manuscripts. /li liPublish results and present findings at conferences, seminars, and workshops. /li liTrain and support students and junior staff, while collaborating with internal and external researchers. /li liPlan and manage experiments and data analysis in line with the research group’s objectives. /li /ul h3Grow your skills /h3 pPostdoctoral researchers engage in cutting-edge research in the life sciences, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and utilizing advanced technologies to contribute to impactful scientific publications.
