About this position

Research opportunity in microbiology, immunology, and cell biology at the University of Milan.

The laboratory of Moira Paroni studies the activation and generation of pathogenic Th17 cells in response to bacterial pathogens. The project combines immunology, flow cytometry, microbiology, and molecular biology, with transcriptomic and molecular analyses plus functional studies using human primary cells and complex co-culture models.

The selected candidate will work on the genetic manipulation and functional characterization of bacterial pathogens and their interaction with human primary immune cells. This is a strong fit for a recent graduate interested in host-pathogen interactions, bacterial infection, and immune response mechanisms.

The position is supported by a 1-year research fellowship for promising young researchers, structured as 6 months + 6 months, and is intended as a training period in preparation for a subsequent 3-year PhD position.

Applicants should have a background in cell biology and immunology; prior hands-on experience in microbiology is welcome. Strong motivation, commitment, and willingness to learn are essential.

To apply, send a CV and cover letter describing your research experience, scientific interests, and motivation to [email protected].
