Ivano Amelio

We are hiring for 1 PhD student and 1 postdoctoral researcher in the Amelio Lab at the University of Konstanz, Germany . The project is funded by the German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe) and focuses on the mechanisms of chemoresistance in cancer . The research investigates how cancer cells exploit DNA damage tolerance pathways to survive genotoxic stress and adapt under therapeutic pressure. Key topics include genome instability , mutagenic DNA synthesis , DNA repair , and therapy resistance . The lab combines functional genomics (including CRISPR/Cas9 screening ), proteomics , and molecular biology approaches to identify novel regulatory pathways linking DNA repair to treatment resistance and tumor progression. This opportunity is suitable for candidates with strong interests in cancer biology , molecular biology , genomics , and proteomics . For the postdoctoral role, a strong background in molecular biology is explicitly required. The post does not specify stipend, salary, tuition, or application fee details. The start date is flexible, mid to late 2026 . Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Ivano Amelio directly or check the lab website for contact information.
