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.

In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (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 bring the practices and procedures in line with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Charter and Code).

The role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated PhD student who will work on models of variation in evolving populations. They will develop and carry out computer simulations and supplement these with analytic calculations. They will collaborate in the preparation of scientific papers and present their results at scientific seminars and conferences.

About the research team

Within the Barcelona Collaboratorium, the PhD project will be supervised by Dr Nora Martin. Her work uses modelling and theory to elucidate a key component of quantitative models of evolution: molecular and phenotypic changes introduced by variation through random mutations. This is addressed using the general framework of a genotype-phenotype (GP) map. GP maps describe how genotypic changes are translated to higher-order phenotypic characteristics. One central model in the field focuses on mutational changes in folded RNA secondary structures. Results from established models like RNA have a broad relevance because they can often be applied to other examples, ranging from other macromolecules to beyond the molecular scale. By improving such GP map models, the aim is to increase their biological realism and thus make progress towards models that can be compared directly to the rapidly increasing amount of available biological data.

Further information can be found on Nora Martin’s Google Scholar page or in a recent perspectives paper.

Education and training

Languages

Technical skills
- Programming skills, ideally in Python. Experience with computer clusters (shell scripting) are a plus, but not required.
- Experience in computational modelling, ideally a “bottom-up” approach of building models and running simulations, rather than a “top-down” approach of using code for data analysis.
- Proven analytic and quantitative skills, and the ability and motivation to acquire new knowledge (both biological and mathematical/computational).

Competences
- Organised, structured, self-motivated and conscientious working style.
- Ability to communicate results in a clear and structured way, in presentations and in writing.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to function as part of a team.
- Motivation to work in an interdisciplinary environment.

The Offer - Working Conditions
- Contract duration: 4 years
- Estimated annual gross salary: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and consistent with our pay scales
- Target start date: ideally October 2023

We provide a highly stimulating environment with state-of-the-art infrastructures, and unique professional career development opportunities. To check out our training and development portfolio, please visit our website in the training section.

We offer and promote a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.

The CRG is committed to reconcile a work and family life of its employees and are offering extended vacation period and the possibility to benefit from flexible working hours.

Application Procedure

1. A motivation letter addressed to Dr Nora Martin.

2. A complete CV including contact details.

3. University transcripts (Bachelor & master's degree)

4. Contact details of two referees
