Commitment contract: collaboration contract; 1 year contract (renewable up to the end of the project) Location: Center for NanoScience and Technology, Milano, Via Raffaele Rubattino 81, 20134, Italy WHO WE ARE At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society.
Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centres around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
YOUR TEAM You'd be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where biomedical, materials and physics engineers, material scientists, physicists, chemists, biotechnologists and biologists collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
The Nanomaterials for Energy and Lifescience Research Line is coordinated by Prof. Guglielmo Lanzani who has extensive experience in the photophysics of organic molecules and semiconductors for application in energy and life science.
The research focuses on developing and understanding light-triggered processes taking place at the biotic/abiotic interfaces.
These processes will be studied starting from the design and realization of the nano-structured materials up the evaluation of their effect on the living cells and tissues response.
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be: Expand and manage the cell growth facility; Carry out experiments of cell stimulation; Morphological characterization of cells (imaging, microscopy and differentiation); Support the group providing a biological background.
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SHINE A PhD in STEM disciplines, including Biology, Biotechnology, Biomedical engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Materials science and similar disciplines.
Documented experience on cell handling and/or cell differentiation.
Documented experience on cell physiology (patch clamp will be highly considered).
Documented experience on biomaterials and microphysiological systems.
Motivation and experience in coaching junior scientists.
Good command in spoken and written English.
Diverse background that includes and integrates biology with bio-physics and materials science.
EXTRA AWESOME Good team working skills in an interdisciplinary environment.
An open mind and the attitude toward highly multidisciplinary research.
