*Post-Doc - Milan: miRNAs and non-coding RNAs identification from RNAseq
data*



A position in computational biology is available at the European Institute
of Oncology (IEO).



Our group is engaged in a number of projects in areas of cancer genomics,
development and stem cells. These projects include studying the role of
microRNAs and miRNA:mRNA networks during development, in cancer, and in
adult stem cells, as well as investigating microRNAs (miRNAs) and
non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) as biomarkers for cancer and disease.



Candidate will have the opportunity to exploit genomic analysis of miRNAs
and ncRNAs from tumors samples searching for biomarkers for: i) cancer risk
prediction and/or early diagnosis; ii) detection of minimal residual
disease (MRD) and/or monitoring response to therapy; iii) cancer prognosis.

The position entails application of computational tools for the analysis
and interpretation of high-throughput genomic data, primarily sequencing
data (NGS, Illumina), and meta-analysis of cancer datasets of miRNA/mRNA
expression profiling. Prior experience in processing and managing
high-throughput sequencing data is desired.



Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Please submit a
CV (max 3 pages), a brief research statement (max 1 page), and names of at
least two references to Francesco Nicassio (francesco.nicassio@ieo.eu).

Please quote: “position_bioinfo” in the subject field of your e-mail.
