with interdisciplinary scientific teams

●        Excellent fluency in English and efficiency in
technical/scientific writing.

Most desirable are already acquired experiences with single-cell data
handling pipelines; familiarity with the application of statistical methods
to single-cell sequencing analysis is a plus.  Candidates with such
background will be given precedence.

The position is funded by the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca
under the Accelerator Award.  The position is for 12 months, possibly
renewable until the end of the project in 2023, with a salary up to 30,000
