A PhD position in Statistical Mechanics and Biological Physics is open in the group of Prof. Mario Nicodemi at the Physics Dep.t of the University of Naples, IT (people.na.infn.it/~nicodem). It is framed within the EU ITN PEP-NET consortium and restricted to non-IT residents, salary 123000EUR plus family allowance (30000EUR), starting within 30/09/2019.
The research project concerns the investigation of the physical mechanisms underlying the 3D organisation and regulation of our genome, by combining polymer physics, computer simulations and high-throughput data analysis. The ideal candidate should have a background in statistical mechanics or computer simulations, biological physics, bioinformatics. She/He will work within a research collaboration across EU, UK and USA. Additional information is available via email.
Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, names of three potential referees in a single pdf file (deadline 31/03/2019). They should be emailed to Mario.Nicodemi@na.infn.it (cc: pepnet.bio@hu-berlin.de). Application and job details are also available at: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/365766
