The role
We are seeking a talented computational biologist with experience in next-generation sequencing data, particularly in single-cell transcriptomics and post-transcriptional regulation. The primary goal of the job is to analyze single-cell long read data from various species and investigate the conservation and divergence of coordinated pre-mRNA processing.
About the lab
The Irimia lab is an international and multi-disciplinary team dually affiliated with UPF and CRG. It focuses primarily on elucidating the role of alternative splicing in vertebrate development and adult function, generally applying explicit evolutionary perspectives. Part of our work focuses on microexons in the nervous system and in endocrine pancreas, a splicing program that we have originally discovered and to which we have made key contributions. In our lab, we combine computational approaches (comparative bulk and single-cell transcriptomics and functional genomics) with experiments using in vitro and in vivo systems. In addition, we have recently started a strong collaboration with the BIMSB-MDC in Berlin, with the overarching goal of advancing single-cell transcriptomics with isoform resolution.
