Postdoc – Human Technopole, Milan

Build the science that shapes the future of human health.

Application closing date: 30.09.2026

Join a place where ambitious science thrives.

Human Technopole (Milan) is a rapidly expanding life science institute where international researchers and cutting‑edge technologies converge to accelerate biomedical discovery. Our mission is to transform bold scientific ideas into advances that improve human health.

Within this mission, the Vannini Group combines cryo‑electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, single‑molecule measurements, and cell biology approaches to elucidate the role of multi‑subunit macromolecular machineries involved in genome function and organization. In particular, we are interested in understanding at the molecular level how non‑coding gene transcription machineries, auxiliary transcription factors, chromatin remodellers, SMC complexes and transposable elements affect genome structure.

We are seeking an ambitious,



highly motivated Postdoc with a strong interest in structural and functional characterization of large multi‑subunit complexes, using integrative approaches. Previous expertise in structural biology or, in alternative, biochemistry of SMC complexes is essential.

We encourage international candidates to apply and will support applications to external Postdoctoral fellowship schemes (EMBO, Marie Curie, HPSF, etc.).
