Two years post-doc position (possibly renewable) at the University ofMilano (UNIMI), Department of Biosciences

Research
in the group of prof. Marco Nardini (https://sites.unimi.it/biolstru/nardini-lab.html)

Title of the project: “Integrated structural biology on transcription factors and their interaction
with DNA”

In particular the project will focus on:

(i) the eukaryotic “pioneer”
histone-like transcription factor NF-Y (doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2012.11.047) and
its interplay with two major TF classes: basic leucine-zipper (bZIP) and basic
helix-loop-helix (bHLH), relevant in cancer and other important human
pathologies, and (ii) the prokaryotic MucR (doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-16127-5), a
zinc-finger-containing protein whose function has been associated with the
organization of bacterial genetic material.

The project includes a full training in cryo-EM (at our
cryo-EM facility: https://sites.unimi.it/biolstru/em.html),

from sample preparation to data collection,
processing, and structure determination

Requested background: molecular biology and/or biochemistry and/or
structural biology. Ph.D. title is mandatory.

The position (public competition) will be shortly announced at the UNIMI website.
