The candidate should have a degree in Medicine & Surgery, Biology, Medical Biotechnology, Neuroscience or Biomedical Engineering.The ideal candidate should be skilled in the fields of cellular and molecular biology. Technical competences should include cell cultures, immunocytochemistry, biomolecular analysis and microscopy.Additionally, team working, problem-solving ability, computer skills (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and basic statistical knowledge will be appreciated.

The research activity will be carried out at the Neuroscience Institute Cavalieri Ottolenghi (NICO https://www.nico.ottolenghi.unito.it/eng; Dept. Neuroscience, Univ. Turin), under the supervision of the reference person. The main goal of NICO is to study the biological mechanisms of nervous system function, to develop innovative therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative/psychiatric diseases. NICO hosts several laboratories covering a wide variety of multidisciplinary research activities applied to neuroscience, including neuroanatomy, cellular and molecular biology, genetics, cellular physiology, thereby creating a very collaborative and highly stimulating scientific atmosphere.
