This is the web page for the FIS3 Advanced Grant “Exploring RNA Dynamics across Scales: From Base Pairs to Viral Genomes” (FIS-2024-01745). This is a ERC-scale project, funded by the Italian Minister of University and Research, with a funding of ~ 1.9 million Euros over a period of 5 years.

The funding of this project was announced on November 28, 2025. The project will start in early spring 2026. This page is still under construction.

We have several post-doc positions to be opened soon. Please fill this form if you are interested. The position is offered as a standard SISSA employment contract (“Contratto di ricerca”), with full social-security and pension contributions. The gross annual salary is expected to be approximately 39 k EUR. The net salary will typically fall between 27 k EUR and 35 k EUR per year, depending on individual fiscal conditions. The upper end of this range is generally attainable for candidates who have spent the past few years working abroad and may therefore qualify for applicable tax exemptions. A one-time reimbursement for relocation expenses is available, up to a maximum of approximately 1k EUR. Trieste offers a high quality of life and a relatively low cost of living compared to most European university cities, making the effective purchasing power of the salary particularly competitive.
