FIRST STAGE RESEARCHER R1 - TRANSCRIPTIONAL DYNAMICS IN LEUKEMIA

The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) is a non-profit research institute based in Barcelona and dedicated to advancing our understanding about leukaemia and related disorders, in partnership with the University of Barcelona and University Autònoma of Barcelona. The IJC has laboratories in three clinical campuses: i) Clinic Hospital, ii) Sant Pau Hospital and iii) Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital. IJC serves as a collaborative hub for basic investigators and physicians to work together on fundamental biological and clinical aspects of leukaemia. The IJC offers an excellent work environment built around a multi-disciplinary fusion of ideas and state-of-the-art facilities.

Research Description

The Transcriptional Dynamics in Leukemia lab led by Dr Sergi Cuartero seeks a highly talented and motivated First Stage Researcher R1 (Investigador Novell). Using a combination of genome-wide approaches, advanced microscopy imaging and single-cell technologies, the team investigates how mutations in epigenetic modifiers and transcription factors contribute to leukaemia development. We are located in the brand-new building of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC), a top research institute in the Barcelona area and a highly stimulating scientific environment.
