Description - Call for Expression of Interest for a joint application under the upcoming Call for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 The University of Genoa (UNIGE), located in Genoa, ITALY, welcomes postdoctoral researchers of any nationality, with an excellent track record, to apply to the European Commission Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025.

Our University has been a beneficiary of several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.

The Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship is one of the funding schemes of the European Commission's Horizon Europe Research & Innovation programme, dedicated to excellent research promoting international mobility, as well as interdisciplinary and intersectoral exchanges.

MSCA fellowship grants provide a competitive salary plus mobility and family allowances if applicable, as well as a contribution to cover research, training, and networking costs.

The research projects will have a duration of 2 or 3 years.

Selected candidates will be provided with special support for proposal writing and development.

The University of Genoa will organize in May the fifth edition of the Masterclass MSCA@UniGe. Selected candidate researchers will have the opportunity to attend a 2-day online intensive training and coaching course on how to write a successful proposal. This masterclass is a pathway of support to candidates and their supervisors in preparing project proposals, including prescreening activity of the draft proposals and the organization of dedicated B2B meetings, by the European Research Office of UniGe, National Contact Point, and other experts.

The masterclass will take place in May/June 2025.

We are committed to the advancement of nanotechnology for the establishment of increasingly effective treatment strategies in oncology.

Our special focus is on nanomaterials-mediated adjuvant photo/chemo- and chemo/radio-treatment of head/neck and pancreatic carcinoma by exploiting non-persistent hybrid nanotherapeutics.

Beyond the material side and in agreement with the 3Rs principle, we established an alternative in vivo facility that exploits the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model for patient-centered investigations and for the advanced screening of the most promising oncological treatments.

Research Group The mission of my group is to develop non-invasive combined treatments for the management of solid neoplasms and to advance the oncological field by employing alternative in vivo models.

The group is international and strongly multi-disciplinary.

It includes chemists, biologists, engineers, and medical doctors in order to cover all the aspects required in oncological research.

Furthermore, our scientific collaborations with local hospitals and top clinics in Europe and the US critically support the translational essence of our research.

Application An expression of interest shall be sent to Prof. Valerio Voliani (******, Orcid ID: 0000-0003-1311-3349) by 5th May 2025.

Your file should contain the following elements:

For MSCA-PF 25 call (opening foreseen on 9th April 2025), at the deadline for the submission of proposals (10th September 2025), postdoctoral candidates shall have a maximum of 8 years of postdoctoral research experience and must not have resided or carried out their main activities in Italy (for European Fellowship) or in the Third Country of the outgoing phase (for Global Fellowship) for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the abovementioned deadline.
