POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW - CANCER EPIGENETICS

Postdoctoral Fellow - Cancer Epigenetics IEO - European Institute of Oncology Milan, Italy We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral fellow with strong expertise in molecular and cellular biology to join the group at IEO.
The successful candidate will have the freedom and responsibility to lead an ambitious project aimed at dissecting the mechanistic basis of stress- and therapy-resistance conferred by disruption of the epigenetic regulatory network.
The study is a follow-up to our recent work that uncovered “transcriptional numbness” as a driver of cancer evolution in many solid tumors (Loukas et al., Cancer Cell, ).
Depending on interests, other projects related to the main focus of the lab research may also be considered.
