PART TIME - Lab Technician for the BiSC Project

The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) is a cutting-edge institute addressing global public health challenges through research, translation into policy and education. ISGlobal has a broad portfolio in communicable and non-communicable diseases including environmental and climate determinants, and applies a multidisciplinary scientific approach ranging from the molecular to the population level. Research is organized in three main areas, Malaria and other Infectious Diseases, Child and Maternal Health, and Urban Health, Climate & Non-Communicable Diseases.  ISGlobal is accredited with the Severo Ochoa distinction, a seal of excellence of the Spanish Science Ministry.

ISGlobal is looking for a motivated laboratory technician to support the daily development of the project entitled “ENTENTE: Maternal and fetal genetic basis of placental function”, funded by the ISCIII. The project aims to identify the maternal and fetal genetic contributions to placental function and placental molecular profiles in the Barcelona Life Study Cohort (BiSC, https://www.projectebisc.org/en/home/ ).
