The Institute
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than 400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG is composed by an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.
The role
We are seeking an enthusiastic project manager to join our team. The person will be involved in the management and coordination of partnerships and collaborations in the frame of several European Commission-funded projects in genomics and health. The successful candidate will be coordinating tasks such as the curation of clinical data and the development of EGA services - in particular, data discovery - tailored to the needs of each project. They will be planning scientific activities, leading working groups, tracking deliverables, writing scientific reports, and liaising with our research and development teams to measure their progress. We need a person eager to learn, and to push the team forward with good energy. Knowledge in biological science, and more specifically genomics and bioinformatics, is highly appreciated. A proactive attitude is absolutely required.
About the EGA
The EGA (European Genome-Phenome Archive,www.ega-archive.org) is a resource for permanent secure archiving and sharing of all types of potentially identifiable bio-molecular, phenotypic, and clinical data resulting from biomedical research projects. We host more than 16 petabytes of data, that includes more than 3700 studies and 8600 datasets. The EGA, co-managed by the CRG (www.crg.eu) and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI,www.ebi.ac.uk) , is an active partner in numerous international and national projects and contributes to establishing international standards in genomics and health research. Currently, the EGA is involved in many precision medicine initiatives and projects and looks forward to providing advanced services for that research community. The EGA team at CRG is a diverse group (currently 20 people and steadily growing) composed of bioinformaticians, developers and scientists from various backgrounds. The EGA is a Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH, www.ga4gh.org ) driver project, an ELIXIR (www.elixir-europe.org) Core Data Resource and Recommended Deposition Repository, as well as an ELIXIR Spain (www.inab.es) service. In Barcelona, the EGA is based at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB,www.prbb.org) and receives support from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC, www.bsc.es) and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF, www.upf.edu) .
