Dear List manager,

Could you please post this advert for a postdoctoral position
starting on may 2019?

Plain text below:

Available position: “Fluorescent biosensor CRISPR-based continuous
evolution to rescue defective CFTR”

Postdoctoral Opportunity Starting *May 2019*

At the Institute of Biophysics of CNR (http://www.ibf.cnr.it/), we
are looking for a bright and enthusiastic individual who is
interested in CRISPR, GFP-based biosensors, live cell fluorescence
and microfluidics.

We recently started working on a new exciting project to rescue
CFTR function in Cystic Fibrosis by identifying CFTR point
mutations that are able to restore correct levels of chloride
transport.

The project is conducted within an sparkling interdisciplinary
environment involving the Biophysics Institute of the CNR, the
laboratory of Molecular Virology
(https://www.cibio.unitn.it/97/laboratory-of-molecular-virology)
headed by Prof. A. Cereseto at the University of Trento and the
startup company MicroFabSolutions
(https://www.microfabsolutions.com) bridging expertise in
biosensor imaging, genome editing and micro- fabrication and
fluidics.

This position requires PhD level training in biophysics,
biotechnology, or similar disciplines. Previous experience with
live cell microscopy, CRISPR technology or microfluidocs
engineeering is desirable. The successful applicant will join a
collaborative research environment.

Applications should be sent by email to Dr. Arosio at
[hidden email]. Applicants are requested to send a CV,
representative publications, and names and contact information of
three references.
