Job Description

Join us at EMBL Rome! We’re hiring a Group Leader with full core funding to investigate molecular mechanisms. It’s a rare mix of scientific freedom, state-of-the-art facilities, and a community that values bold ideas.

• Independence + support 🧭🤝: Investigate how environmental cues and genetic mechanisms shape phenotype — backed by experienced mentors.

• Core facilities you’ll actually use 🔬📸💻: genomics & single-cell/spatial omics, advanced imaging, embryology, genome engineering, and HPC — plug-and-play from day one.

• Tech/method development culture 🛠️⚗️: CRISPR tools, quantitative imaging, or organoids — build methods as well as insights.

• Scope to explore 🧠🌱: ideal for interests in epigenetics, development, or neuroepigenetics.

• People + place 🌍☕🇮🇹: international, curiosity-driven teams in a highly collaborative institute — set near Rome.
