APPLICATION CLOSING DATE: October 1st 2024
HT is an interdisciplinary research institute, created and supported by the Italian government, whose aim is to develop innovative strategies to promote human health through a multidisciplinary and integrated approach, combining genomics, computational and structural biology and neuroscience, as well as data and decision sciences.
The Human Technopole Foundation is looking for one highly motivated postdoc to work in the group of Prof. Giuseppe Testa, Neurogenomics Research Centre (Testa Group - Human Technopole).
The Testa Group focuses on the dynamics of brain disorders, with a strong emphasis on human experimental models and straddling multiple scales of analysis from single cell resolution to organismal function. Our research environment includes transformative facilities encompassing brain organoids automation, state of the art genomics and microscopy infrastructures along with a HT-wide architecture of high performance computing (HPC) attuned to the needs of contemporary computational biology.
We are seeking outstanding candidates passionate about the challenges of understanding human neuropsychiatric conditions in their authentic unfolding, harnessing high resolution epigenomics and the most advanced stem cell-based models, including assembloids and xenografts, to uncover actionable mechanisms and advance them towards translational applications.
Key tasks and responsibilities
Conducting experiments in the area of stem cell neurobiology, combining cutting-edge methods from molecular biology, genome editing, biochemistry, cell biology and organoids, with a strong emphasis on advanced human cell culture pipelines, single cell and spatial genomics approaches and advanced imaging
Computational analysis to study neurodevelopmental dynamics at the single cell level.
Analyse and integrate imaging data with molecular phenotyping of complex brain organoids models.
Design, perform and analyse empirical data leveraging genetic and/or pharmacological multiplexed perturbations.
Generating reliable data for publication in the projects to which s/he is assigned and record all data and results in specified forms (with Electronic Lab Notebooks)
Perform well-documented bioinformatic analysis for internal and external single cell multi-omics datasets.
Strongly interact with wet and dry scientists of the lab and also and support other group members whenever needed.
Communicating, explaining and contextualising results to a wide variety of collaborators with varying degrees of know-how.
Job requirements
Mandatory requirements:
A PhD degree in neurobiology or related areas;
Fluency in English – HT is an international research institute.
Preferential requirements:
Track record in the following areas:
1) Advanced disease modelling (preferably with human pluripotent stem cell lines, organoids and primary neural cell cultures, including gene editing);
2) Molecular Biology (DNA and RNA manipulation, cloning, single cell and spatial omics, CRISPR perturbations)
3) Advanced chromatin technologies (Cut&tag/Cut&Run)
4) Histology and microscopy (including tissue processing techniques, clearing, dissociation and tissue processing, stainings, advanced microscopy).
Knowledge of programming languages applied to data analysis: Python (preferable), R, java, javascript, C++, C#, MATLAB;
Previous experience in the analysis and interpretation of single cell omics datasets;
Experience with code versioning systems (e.g., git, SVN) and familiarity with container technologies (e.g., Docker, Singularity, Podman); experience working in a Unix/Linux environment and with bioinformatics workflow systems (i.e., Nextflow, Snakemake, CWL).
Organizational and social skills:
Strong organization skills and attention to detail; propensity to structure analytical steps in well-documented and reproducible workflows;
Excellent problem-solving, analytical and critical thinking skills; collaborative attitude and ability to work in teams with colleagues of heterogeneous scientific backgrounds;
Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment and to work independently.
