Offerte di lavoro
Prima di applicare ad una offerta di lavoro presso l’IRB, si consiglia di leggere:
Having an outstanding CV is a very good start but is not sufficient to be short listed for an interview, and is definitely not enough per se to get the position your are applying for. Your motivation and career plan are crucial and will be of high impact on the success of your application.
In your motivation letter, which has to be written in English, you need to clearly demonstrate why you want to join the IRB and this group of research in particular. Your application should also contain the e-mail addresses of at least two referees.
If you intend to join the IRB, you should wonder not only what the Institute will bring to you but also what You will bring to the Institute. We ask you not only to be self-critical but also to be scientifically critical with your future team. The Institute is looking for good Scientists not for tasks executors.
Working efficiently is more expected than working hard, even if one does not exclude the other and vice versa.
If finally you have the chance to be short listed for an interview, please prepare it. Look all over our website to know the environment surrounding the research group you are applying to, read their last publications, current projects and research networks; study the core facilities available at the Institute. Even if in the job advertisement you have only a few sentences describing your future project, start to think about it, how you would approach it.
In short, applying at the IRB should not be one of the X applications you are writing and sending. Instead, it should be thoroughly prepared.
Per le applicazioni al Programma di Dottorato non ci sono particolari scadenze: contattare direttamente il Direttore del laboratorio a cui si è interessati mandando il CV e spiegando chiaramente le motivazioni per svolgere un dottorato e il perché della scelta di una linea di ricerca, tutto in inglese.
Servizio civile
La posizione di assistente di ricerca presso uno dei gruppi dell’Istituto di Ricerca in Biomedicina (IRB) permette al civilista di poter assistere attivamente dottorandi e post-dottorati in svariati progetti di ricerca. I compiti svolti dal civilista e il grado di autonomia dipendono soprattutto dal suo titolo di studio e dall’esperienza raccolta sinora. Questi possono riguardare semplici procedure di base standard come mantentimento di culture cellulari, PCR o preparazione di reagenti oppure l’utilizzo di macchinari e tecniche più complesse come citometria di flusso.
Rispetto
L’IRB mira a creare un ambiente vivace, collaborativo e inclusivo, dove le persone si dedicano in modo sicuro e libero alle discussioni scientifiche e alle scoperte. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, le interazioni tra tutti i membri della comunità dell’IRB dovrebbero essere sempre basate sul rispetto reciproco. L’IRB non tollererà alcun comportamento inappropriato che offenda l’integrità personale, la dignità personale e che ostacoli le pari opportunità. Molestie, bullismo, discriminazioni, atteggiamenti minacciosi e violenza sono tutti comportamenti inaccettabili a tutti i livelli di occupazione e chi commette tali atti ne affronterà le conseguenze, indipendentemente dallo status o dalla posizione. Anche le ritorsioni contro le persone che agiscono in buona fede non saranno tollerate.
Se si dovesse subire un qualsiasi comportamento inappropriato, si prega di segnalarlo. Per ulteriori informazioni, consultate il vostro supervisore o le Risorse Umane. L’IRB è a vostra disposizione e vi sosterrà.
Piano per la parità di genere
L’Istituto di Ricerca in Biomedicina mira a stabilire una cultura del rispetto, a promuovere la diversità e a migliorare le pari opportunità.

The laboratory of Immunobiology at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB, Bellinzona, Switzerland) is recruiting a highly motived postdoctoral to work at the interface between Cell Biology and Immunology. Our research focus on understanding the mechanisms of pathogen-derived antigens presentation by the non-classical HLA-E and consequent recognition by CD8+ T lymphocytes.
For additional information on the laboratory of Immunobiology / Dr. Caroline Junqueira, please visit: www.irb.usi.ch/immunobiology
Qualification:
Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree with less than 3 years of postdoctoral experience and expertise in immunology, cell biology, biochemistry, or molecular biology.
Applications for the position should include a CV, one page of research accomplishments, and contact information of two professional references. For more information/applications please contact Dr. Caroline Junqueira (caroline.junqueira@irb.usi.ch). Please write “Postdoc application” and the applicant’s name in the email subject heading.
In the realm of cutting-edge research and academic excellence, the IMMERGE MSCA Doctoral Network (DN) stands as an extraordinary training initiative, embracing a multidisciplinary perspective that spans various domains of knowledge. The program is dedicated to recruit 12 remarkable Doctoral Candidates (DCs) within the field of Immunology, Epigenetics, Omics and Gene Editing Technologies and Bioinformatics. The objective of the program is to answer several essential questions regarding the Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI), such what is the relationship between genetic mutations and the wide clinical phenotypic expressivity and drug response in different individuals? How are the specific effects of these mutations modulated by the genetic background and/or environmental factors? What is the interplay between these mutations and a wealth of cell signalling pathways and transcriptional factors? Can we correct them? Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) represent a paradigm for (i) exploring the communication between genetics, epigenetic and environmental determinants and (ii) testing the potential of gene editing methods. The DCs will be enrolled in top-notch academic and non-academic partners working with experts in immunology, genetics, epigenetics, proteomics, single cell omics, bioinformatics, and gene correction. Participating institutions represent 7 different countries, with 8 members in academia and 2 non-academic, from the biotech sector. In addition, the overall programme has designed a tailored training programme in which 16 Associated Partners bring additional expertise to the
MSCA DN.
A PhD student or Post-Doc position is available in the Molecular Immunology lab at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) in Bellinzona, Switzerland (www.irb.usi.ch/molecular-immunology), to join projects aimed at understanding the role of RNA-binding proteins in immunity.
Have you recently obtained a Master or PhD degree in a field related to immunology or molecular biology? Are you fluent in spoken and written English? Are you highly motivated and excited about learning new skills and developing independent thinking? Please apply!
The research topic concerns the study of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in cells of the immune system, especially related to autoimmunity. The general goal is to extend our knowledge of the mechanisms that regulate immune cell differentiation and functions in health and disease.
With access to state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant environment that favors the exchange of knowledge and ideas through journal clubs, seminars and talks, you will have the opportunity to address mechanistic questions relevant to immune responses. The lab is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundations (SNSF) and other grants. Salaries are in line with the recommendations of the SNSF, and preferred starting date is early 2024.
Applications will be evaluated as they are received and until the position is filled. Please send a single pdf file by email to silvia.monticelli@irb.usi.ch, including the following:

Artificial Intelligences applied to antibody discovery
The Computational Structural Biology laboratory (Andrea Cavalli) at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB, Bellinzona, Switzerland) is recruiting a highly motivated postdoc to work on the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI), in particular large language models (LLM), to the discovery of antibodies. The project is funded by a Sinergia grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and will be carried out in a laboratory affiliated to the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB). Preferred starting date is beginning of 2024.
Qualification
Our international team will welcome candidates with a PhD in Computational Sciences, Computational Biology or related fields, with less than 3 years of postdoctoral experience and expertise in development and application of novel AI based methods, such as large language models (LLM).
