The general focus of the group centers on epigenetic regulation of myogenesis using facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) as paradigm. We are looking for a highly motivated scientist with a strong interest in transcriptional regulation and epigenetics. The successful candidate will work in close collaboration with wet biologists and will be in charge of developing computational and statistical methods to analyze next-generation sequencing data, including ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq data. Computational programming skills (R, Perl, Python or C++) are required.

The laboratory is strategically located within the scientific environment of the San Raffaele Biomedical Area. There are ample opportunities to interact with other laboratories with interests in regulation of gene expression and disease. The Division of Regenerative Medicine has a strong emphasis on development of novel therapeutic approaches for muscular dystrophy.

Applicants should have demonstrated scientific productivity, good inter-personal and communication skills, and be able to work independently.

Interested candidates should send curriculum vitae and a list of three individuals that can serve as references by e-mail to:
