Center for Human Technologies - GenoaSalary range.
30k - 35k euroWHO WE AREAt 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 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
YOUR TEAM The Integrative Nuclear Architecture research unit is coordinated by Dr.
Irene Farabella (Armenise-Harvard CDA), who has extensive experience in integrative modelling, imagining data analysis and 3D genomics.
You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where computational and experimental researcher collaborate, each with their own expertise, to advance our knowledge in how the human genome is organized and regulated.
Specifically, the overall goal of the lab is to understandhow 3D genome organization plasticity (Nir, Farabella, et al.
PlosGen ) influence gene regulation with a strong focus on the role of RNAs in shaping such organization (Farabella et al.
Nat Struct Mol Bio ; Mendieta-Esteban et al., NAR genom.
ioinform., ; Morf et al.

).
The Integrative Nuclear Architecture research unit is anactive member of theFANTOM6 and of the Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science-Center of Genome Imaging collaborative projects, placing the lab at the forefront of scientific innovation.

t/This specific project will focus on developing new computational methods for the analysis and interpretation of multiplexed single-cell imaging, mainly points clouds chromatin tracing experiments.
The overall objective of the project is toimplement new means to measure and predict genome folding patterns using a combination of data modelling, optimization, and machine learning techniques.
ithin the team, your main responsibilities will be.
eveloping tools for the high-throughput detection, analysis, and quantification of large single-cell chromatin tracing dataset (point clouds data).
mplementing algorithms for integration of chromatin tracing data generated in the lab and publicly available datasets with other multi-omic dataset.
orking in a highly collaborative spirit, interacting with, and supporting the other group members and the collaborators.
ublishing reproducible research in international conferences and in high-impact, open-access journals.
e expect all code produced in this project to be developed in Python, released as fully open source, and made publicly available to the research community.
his open position is fully funded by the Giovanni Armenise Harvard Foundation within the project.
