Step into a world of endless possibilities, together let's leave something for the future! At IIT, we are committed to advancing human-centered Science and Technology to address the most urgent societal challenges of our era. We foster excellence in both fundamental and applied research, spanning fields such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and material sciences, offering a truly interdisciplinary scientific experience. Our approach integrates cutting-edge tools and technology, empowering researchers to push the limits of knowledge and innovation. With us, your curiosity will know no bounds.

We are dedicated to providing equal employment opportunities and fostering diversity in all its forms, creating an inclusive environment. We value the unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives of our people. By embracing diversity, we believe science can achieve its fullest potential.

THE ROLE You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where junior and senior scientists collaborate, each with their expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.

The Neurobiology of miRNA Research Unit (https://ncrna. iit. it) is coordinated by Davide De Pietri Tonelli and is composed of Biologists, Biotechnologists, and Bioinformaticians, who work in close collaboration with the multi-disciplinary staff of IIT having complementary expertise in multi-omics, material science, neuro-physiology, and neuro-electronics. The research focuses on the control of neural stem cell fate by noncoding RNAs in the developing and adult mammalian brain. Central questions addressed involve basic aspects of small noncoding RNAs (e. g. , microRNAs, Piwi-interacting RNAs) in neuroscience and their translational applications for neurological diseases.

Within the research team, your main responsibilities will be:

SeminarsESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS - A PhD in Neuroscience or Neurobiology and a MSc in Biology, Biotechnology, Veterinary sciences, Medicine, or similar disciplines

- Documented experience on Murine models (including surgery, histology, primary cell culture preparation) and/or human IPSC cultures and imaging

- Good command of spoken and written English

ADDITIONAL SKILLS - Felasa-like Certification (Funzione A, D, and possibly C) or other certificates (according to D. M. 228/2021)

- Knowledge of RNA handling, isolation, purification from mammalian cells/tissue, and analysis

- Ability to work in a challenging and international environment

- Capacity to work autonomously and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment

- Possess analytical reasoning skills and a growth mindset

COMPENSATION PACKAGE - Private health care coverage depending on your role and contract

- Candidates from abroad or Italian citizens who have carried scientific research activity permanently abroad and meet specific requirements may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years.
