PhD position at a Marie-Curie Doctoral Network, University of Piemonte Orientale, Italy

The Biochemistry and Structural Biology lab of the University of Piemonte Orientale (Novara, Italy) offers a position for a highly motivated PhD student within the European doctoral network “PROSTAMET”, a comprehensive translational research and training pipeline harnessing lipid metabolism to improve prostate cancer management. The aim of the PROSTAMET network is to educate young researchers in tackling complex disease and to understand the structure-function relationships, with an emphasis on drug discovery in prostate cancer targets. The project will be part of a highly interactive and multidisciplinary European training program involving internationally well-recognized laboratories and companies.

The ideal candidate has experience in protein purification and biochemical/biophysical characterization. Expertise in the field of structural biology techniques (X-ray crystallography, Cryo-EM) is an advantage.
The expected start date of the project is January 2024. Candidate must send a cover letter and an updated CV summarizing education, positions and academic work, and a complete list of publications and the names and contacts of reference persons.
