Genova
Liguria, GENOVA

Department of Experimental Medicine (DIMES) 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 for the European Commission's Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025. Our University has been a beneficiary of several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. The 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. The MSCA fellowship grant provides 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 receive special support for proposal writing and development. The University of Genoa will organize in May the fifth edition of the Masterclass MSCAUniGe. 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. The main thematic area focuses on advanced microscopy techniques, particularly live cell imaging, confocal and electron microscopy/immunoelectron microscopy, for biomedical research. We aim to explore subcellular dynamics and mechanisms in cancer biology, especially HER2 breast cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and immune responses. Expertise in imaging methodologies, cellular and molecular biology, and an interest in translational applications are crucial. Candidates should bring innovative perspectives on these fields. Research Group The research group specializes in advanced imaging techniques, with a focus on electron microscopy and immunoelectron microscopy, to investigate cellular and subcellular mechanisms in biomedical research. Key areas of interest include cancer biology (breast cancer) and neurodegenerative diseases. The laboratory combines state-of-the-art imaging technologies with molecular and cellular biology approaches, fostering a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment for translational research and innovation. Application An expression of interest shall be sent to Prof. Katia Cortese (cortesekunige. it, Orcid ID: 0000-0001-9218-8933) by 5th May 2025. Your file should contain the following elements: For the 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.
