DESCRIPTION

A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Genomics of Cancer at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan (Italy).

The group is interested in detecting the genotypic determinants of human cancer through the study of different features of human genes, proteins and of the entire genome. A number of projects are currently going on in the lab. Therefore, a certain flexibility in the choice of the project is allowed. In all cases, the successful candidate will deal with well-assessed procedures for data analysis as well as with the development of specific bioinformatics tools. A tight collaboration with the many wet labs in the campus is a major trait of the job.

REQUIREMENTS

A PhD in bioinformatics, theoretical biology, genetics or equivalent is required. Computational skills (Perl/Phyton/C++) are mandatory. A background in evolution and developmental biology would be favourable.
