PhD and Postdoc Positions in Spatial Biology, Gene Regulation, and Cancer Immunology at University of Pavia

The Laboratory of Prof. Felice Alessio Bava at the University of Pavia/IRCCS San Matteo is recruiting PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to join projects in spatial biology, with a focus on gene regulation and cancer immunology. The University of Pavia, established in 1361, is one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious universities, renowned for its vibrant scientific ecosystem and affiliations with leading medical research centers such as IRCCS San Matteo. The laboratory is fully equipped with state-of-the-art spatial biology platforms and is closely linked to clinical research at the IRCCS San Matteo hospital. Successful candidates will work on cutting-edge projects in spatial biology, gene regulation, and cancer immunology. The lab welcomes applications from both experimentalists (molecular biologists, biochemists, chemists, or similar fields) and computational biologists. Applicants should be self-motivated, rigorous, and dedicated junior scientists. Experience in spatial biology techniques (e.g., spatial transcriptomics, in situ sequencing, multiplexed protein imaging) is a strong plus. Proven experience with fluorescence microscopy (FISH, IF, etc.) or Next-Generation Sequencing (RNAseq, scRNAseq, etc.) is required. English proficiency is essential. PhD positions are fully funded for three years, while postdoctoral positions are available for two to five years with competitive salaries based on experience and local living standards. The laboratory offers a dynamic and supportive environment in a highly livable town near Milan, with access to major international airports and a vibrant metropolitan lifestyle. To apply, contact Prof. Felice Alessio Bava at [email protected]. For more information, visit the SIICA LinkedIn page or the provided announcement link. Ensure your application highlights relevant experience in spatial biology, microscopy, or sequencing.
