Dear

I am going to open soon a position for a postdoctoral fellow in my group at the Dept. of Bioscience, University of Milan (Italy).

The research project will focus on the understanding of the molecular bases of light chains (LC) aggregation propensity and proteotoxicity, which are responsible for Light Chain Amyloidosis (AL).

LCs from patients will be structurally and biophysically characterised in order to pinpoint the specific properties of toxic versus non-toxic LCs.

Recent works showing our approach: Oberti el al 2017 Sci Rep and Le Marchand et al 2018 Nat Comm.

Interested candidates should have a solid background in X-ray crystallography and/or in biochemistry of native or misfolded proteins. Experience in SAXS or in electron microscopy is very welcome. Fluent English is required.

The contract should start after summer; the candidates must have already defended their PhD thesis.

In case you know any potentially interested candidate, he/she may contact me 

and send a short CV (two pages max) and two references to this email (stefano.ricagno@unimi.it).
