Probabilistic Modelling of Sequence Data | Machine Learning | Human Genetic Disease | Biodiversity | Comparative Genomics | Bayesian Statistics

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for researchers excited about applying statistical modelling/ deep learning to biological problems, with a background in mathematics, physics, statistics, computer science or computational biology.

Chromatin Biology | Epigenetics | Gene Regulation | Cancer | Stem Cells

Who are we looking for?

A highly motivated researcher with a background in gene regulation, epigenetics and stem cell. A strong interest in cancer biology and cell differentiation is required.

Enhancers | lncRNAs | Genome Editing | Beta Cell Differentiation | Single Cell Genomics | Diabetes Mellitus

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a candidate to develop a PhD project that uses experimental models to understand the regulatory impact of noncoding DNA variants that underlie human diabetes.

Transcription Regulation | Syntactic and Semantic Patterns in the Genome Sequence | Computational Biology | Bioinformatics | Statistics | Evolution Gene Expression

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher with a background in computational biology and bioinformatics. Familiarity with basic evolutionary and molecular biology concepts, and good statistical (data analysis) and programing skills are a must. Familiarity with mathematical and quantiative approaches is preferable.

Comparative Genomics and Transcriptomics |Origin of Organs and Cell Types | Microexons | Evolutionary Medical Genomics

Who are we looking for?

We look for someone that loves Science and research. Experience with single-cell RNA-seq computational analyses will be a plus.

* In June 2023, M.Irimia will leave the CRG after completing 9 year long junior PI stay and the PhD position will be linked to the new institution.

Tissue Engineering | Fibrosis | Ulcerative Colitis | Extracellular Matrix | Protein Secretion | Quality Control

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a highly dedicated, independent and yet collaborative, motivated, and ambitious person with an interest in understanding the basic principles in life sciences. Expertise in molecular biology techniques is an absolute must. This includes CRISPR based knockouts and knockins in mammalian cells.

Mechanobiology | Morphogenesis | Cell Dynamics | Live Cell Microscopy | Bioengineering

Who are we looking for?

We are interested in hiring a highly motivated researcher with a background in cell biology, biophysics, bioengineering or a related field having a strong interest in fluorescence microscopy, image analysis and synthetic biology.

Cancer Metabolism | Chromatin | Nucleus | Cell Cycle | Epigenetics

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher with a background in cell and molecular biology. Experience in bioinformatics, microscopy and omics (genetic screenings, proteomics, epigenomics) would be a plus!

Synthetic Biology | Systems Biology | Protein Design | Human Therapy

Who are we looking for?

A highly motivated researcher with a background in structural biology, cell biology or microbiology. A strong interest in quantitative and synthetic biology is required.

Aging | Systems Biology | Molecular Genetics | Computational Biology

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for two types of candidates 1) wet-lab researchers interested in studying the molecular genetics of aging using a variety of quantitative techniques 2) computational biologists interested in applying bioinformatics tools to ask questions inspired by statistical physics.

Cytoskeleton | Self-organization | Molecular crowding | Phase separation | Microfabrication | Fluorescence Microscopy

Who are we looking for?
