Barcelona, España Centre for Genomic Regulation 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 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.

Please, check out our Recruitment Policy:
**The role**

The position provides an opportunity to play a central role in the experimental work of our team. We are looking for a Research Technician to carry out a mouse experiment that is central to our line of research on Indirect Genetic Effects. In this experiment we investigate the mechanisms (behavioural and otherwise) whereby the genotype of one mouse influences several phenotypes of the other mouse in the cage (see doi: 10.1186/s13059-021-02415-x for background on the project).

You will be the main person in charge of that experiment and will work under the direct supervision of the group leader. You will work with a PhD student in the lab, who will also contribute to the experiment and will use the data for part of his PhD project. Finally, you will be supported by other experienced technicians from the animal facility.

Your duties will include maintaining five mouse lines, ensuring the welfare of the animals, carrying out video-recorded behavioural assays and watching these videos to label behaviours using appropriate software, extracting relevant tissues (brain, ears ) and analysing ear punches with ImageJ.

In addition, you will be responsible for the following tasks related to the experiment: ordering equipment and consumables, managing lab waste, defrosting the freezers and keeping samples in them orderly.

**About the team**

The team consists of computational and experimental scientists working in the field of quantitative genetics. We investigate 1) genetic effects arising from the genes of social partners (Indirect Genetic Effects) and 2) host/microbiome interactions.

We are a diverse team and support the development of each one of our team members through regular meetings (as a group and with the group leader) focused on professional development. We also encourage attendance to the many excellent courses offered by the CRG, the PRBB, etc. (both for technical and soft skills).
