hace 3 semanas


Madrid, España Somma A tiempo completo

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 of an interdisciplinary, motivated, and creative scientific team supported by flexible and efficient administration and high-end innovative technologies.

In April 2021, the CRG received the renewal of the 'HR Excellence in Research' Award from the European Commission. This is a recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for Researchers, designed to align practices and procedures with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.

The role

The Single Cell and Synthetic Genomics of Blood Formation lab (PI: Lars Velten) at CRG Barcelona is looking for a motivated computational or mixed computational-experimental postdoc to use synthetic enhancers, CRISPR screening, and computational approaches to unravel the logic of gene regulation in blood stem cell differentiation.

In your new role, you would:

Develop a project on gene regulation in the blood forming system.

Analyze data from synthetic enhancer MPRA screens, single cell MPRA screens, and dual MPRA-CRISPR screens.

Design experiments using these technologies and collaborate with an experienced technician to implement these experiments.

Interact closely with both wetlab and computational scientists from the group.

Serve as a senior member of the team and, down the road, co-supervisor of PhD students or technical staff.

Your work would be part of the project "Artificial Intelligence for Synthetic Genomics of Blood," funded with a prestigious ERC Starting Grant.

About the lab

My interdisciplinary group investigates the biology of hematopoietic stem cells using a combination of single cell genomics, genetic screens, and computational biology. We strive to develop novel genomic and bioinformatic tools to answer longstanding questions in the field.

Whom would we like to hire?

Professional experience

Must Have:

You hold a PhD in a relevant field (computational biology, genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, biotechnology, etc.).

You have demonstrated your ability to lead a challenging research project.

You have published at least one primary research paper during your PhD.
