The Gene Regulation Lab, an ICREA group at the IDIBAPS Research Institute (Barcelona, Spain), is looking for a postdoc to work on the role of the plasticity EMT factors ZEB1 and ZEB2 in macrophages during acute (sepsis) and chronic (autoimmune diseases, psoriasis) inflammation. The ZEB1 and ZEB1  factors play important roles in homeostasis and disease regulating stemness (normal/cancer stem cells), differentiation, tissue regeneration, and tumor initiation and progression. 

The successful candidates will join a dynamic and international group of postdoc and PhD students in a leading research center in downtown Barcelona.

The project will make use of a wide array of state-of-the-art techniques, and in vitro and in vivo approaches including unique transgenic mouse models and high-throughput and OMICs technologies.

★ Strong publication record with at least 2-3 first-author articles in high impact journals 

★ Solid background in Molecular and Cellular Biology. 

★ Experience in mouse models

b) Desirable Experience 

Candidates with proven experience in any of the following topics will receive higher consideration in the selection process: macrophage biology (acute/chronic inflammation, cancer) molecular oncology, metabolism, epigenetics, transcriptomics, and/or bioinformatics.

CONDITIONS 

The positions are available immediately. The salary will be commensurate with the expertise and the publication record.
