The lab is always looking for talented students and postdocs to help us achieving our mission. Check our research and publications page to see our recent research interests.
Computational postdocs: you are expected to have deep understanding of calculus, statistics and/or basic machine learning methods. You are expected to have a good grasp of biology and understanding of basic bioinformatics methods, e.g. sequence alignment, protein structure analysis. Excellent coding skills in Python and knowledge of PyTorch is required. We do consider candidates with different backgrounds on occasion and depending on lab priorities and available projects.
Wetlab postdocs: you are expected to have significant experience in protein production with either microbial (P. pastoris, S. cerevisiae) or mammalian systems (CHO, HEK), including DNA delivery techniques (transformation, transfection, nucleofection), constructs design, culture condition optimisation. Experience with lysosomal biology and genome engineering is highly valued. We do also consider candidates with primary expertise in biochemical protein purification, characterisation and assay development.
Computational graduate student: we consider candidate with a background in informatics, mathematics, computational biology, physics and closely related disciplines. You are expected to have deep understanding of calculus, statistics and/or basic machine learning methods. Excellent coding skills in Python and basic understanding of biology is required. We do consider candidates with different backgrounds, but please reflect on what your goals are and how your skills fit with this profile.
Wetlab graduate student: we consider candidate with a background in molecular biology, engineering biology and biotechnology. You are expected to have have a good understanding of molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and basic medical concepts. Basic experience in either yeast or mammalian experience is required. We do consider candidates with different backgrounds, but please reflect on what your goals are and how your skills fit with this profile.
There are a number of funding opportunities depending on your career stage, along with ongoing funded projects in the lab. Please, mention the schemes you are eligible for in your correspondence with Dr Stracquadanio.
