Descrizione

R2-I (Recognised Researcher) - (Upper Gastrointestinal and Endocrine Tumor) Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): L'organizzazione internazionale cerca un Ricercatore post-dottorato (R2) per il programma NET-VHIO, focalizzato su tumori endocrini e neuroendocrini. La sede è in un centro di ricerca di alto livello, dove il candidato avrà l'opportunità di sviluppare la propria carriera di ricerca in un ambiente strutturato e di supporto. Le mansioni principali includono la conduzione di ricerche di alta qualità, la collaborazione con ricercatori senior, la supervisione di studenti e la partecipazione a conferenze scientifiche. È richiesta una laurea di dottorato in un campo pertinente, come biologia, medicina o scienze della salute. Il candidato dovrà anche gestire progetti di ricerca preclinica e tradizionale, ottimizzare flussi di lavoro sperimentali e contribuire alla scrittura di pubblicazioni e proposte di finanziamento. We are seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher (R2) who has recently completed their PhD and is looking to further develop their research career within a structured and supportive environment. This role offers a defined period of advanced, mentored training, providing the opportunity to deepen expertise, contribute to high-quality research projects, and strengthen scientific independence. The position is fully focused on research activities, allowing you to dedicate your time to scientific excellence and career progression within a leading research centre. The NET-VHIO Program is a translational research group focused on endocrine and neuroendocrine tumours, integrating preclinical models, molecular profiling and translational approaches to identify novel therapeutic vulnerabilities and biomarkers associated with treatment response and resistance. The group develops patient-derived models including patient-derived xenografts (PDX), organoids and molecular characterization pipelines to study tumour evolution and therapy adaptation in rare endocrine malignancies. Main responsibilities and duties: Conduct high‑quality research aligned with project and lab objectives, including rigorous data collection, analysis, and literature review. Collaborate with senior researchers in designing experiments, developing research protocols, and contributing to publications, reports, and grant proposals. Present research findings within the team and at scientific conferences or seminars. Provide guidance to junior researchers or graduate students and supervise Bachelor’s and Master’s students when applicable. Engage in continuous professional development and work with the technology transfer office to identify potential inventions and understand IP processes. Collaborate in preclinical and translational research projects involving murine models, tumour-derived samples and molecular analyses. Design, perform and optimise in vitro and in vivo experimental workflows related to cancer biology and targeted therapies. Coordinate murine colony management, breeding strategies, genotyping and experimental planning in collaboration with animal facility staff. Support the establishment, processing and maintenance of patient-derived experimental platforms including organoids, primary cultures and PDX-derived samples. Collaborate with internal and external collaborators, including clinicians, core facilities, CROs and international partners. Prepare and organise laboratory SOPs, ethical documentation and experimental records according to institutional and regulatory standards. Monitor and track sample inventories, biobanking activities and experimental timelines ensuring data traceability and integrity. Contribute to data analysis, figure preparation, scientific reports, grant applications and manuscript writing. Participate in laboratory coordination activities including procurement management, safety procedures and workflow optimisation. Annuncio in inglese. Fonte: Euraxess (Commissione europea).
