**The role**

The Single Cell and Synthetic Genomics of Blood Formation lab (PI: Lars Velten) at CRG Barcelona is looking for a motivated postdoc to work on a project related to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and clonal hematopoiesis (CH).

Our group has a strong track record in analyzing hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells with cutting-edge single cell genomic and bioinformatic methods (see, for example, Velten et al., 2017, Triana et al., 2021, Velten et al., 2021, Beneyto-Calabuig et al., biorxiv). We further are embedded in a strong network of collaborators with expertise in clinical leukemia research (Simon Raffel, University Clinics Heidelberg) and stem cell biology (Simon Haas, MDC Berlin).

In your new role, you would:

- Analyse a new, unpublished, large-scale single-cell datasets on stem cells in leukemia and pre-leukemia
- Closely work with external collaborators to explore the biology of the disease and translational potential
- Develop an independent research line on clonal hematopoiesis.
- Work with cutting edge single cell genomic technology, and be involved in technology development
- Serve as senior member of the team and, down the road, co-supervisor of PhD students or technical staff

**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. In particular, we cover two main research lines, a) Gene regulation in healthy hematopoiesis) and b) The role of stem cells in blood cancer. The lab has been established in January 2020 and currently consists of 9 members: 2 bioinformatics PhD student, 2 biotechnology PhD students, a bioinformatics postdoc, a genome biology postdoc, and 2 specialist technicians. We receive funding from the Spanish and German governments, the European Commission, the European Hematology Association and the Spanish Association against Cancer.
