We are looking for a highly motivated individual for this PhD position in the areas of neurological imaging biophysics, high-content computer-assisted microscopy, or cellular virology.
Our research group has two primary focuses: 1) the study of the HIV-1 dynamics in living nuclei, following intracellular mobility of viruses by single particle tracking at high spatial and temporal resolution and 2) the development of new functional imaging techniques such as optical chloride imaging in living brain (http://www.unitn.it/en/cibio/11920/molecular-imaging-joint-ibf-cnr).
The ideal candidate has an educational background in biophysics, biology, computational sciences, theory of data analysis, microscopy or related fields; a university degree or equivalent MS is required.
Computational and programming skills or experience in living cell microscopy and molecular biology are welcomed, and will need to be developed during the course of the PhD.
Interested applicants are encouraged to reply by email to daniele.arosio@cnr.it, including CV and names of 2 referees.
