One post-doctoral position is available in the Laboratory of Genome Integrity at the European Institute of Oncology (Milan, Italy) led by Prof. Stefano Santaguida. We seek highly motivated candidates to study the impact of chromosomal instability on cancer.
Qualifications:
- Strong interest in chromosome segregation, cell cycle and cancer biology
- Technical expertise with molecular biology, cell biology (g., immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, time-lapse microscopy) and cell culture techniques
- Able to work both independently and as part of a laboratory team
- A recent PhD in molecular, cellular or cancer biology
The position will be initially for one year with possible extensions. Type of contract and salary will be commensurate on professional experience.
