To do so, we combine functional genomics tools (CRISPR/Cas9; RNAi), mouse models and organoid/cell culture systems, and (epi)genomic methods including single-cell technologies.**

**DUTIES**:
**Research**:

- Conduct independent research in molecular and microenvironmental mechanisms of cancer pathogenesis.
- Work in a team and contribute to setting up flexible preclinical pipelines to interrogate disease mechanisms in vitro and in vivo.

**Mentoring & team management**: Engage in training of students and assist the Principal Investigator with the supervision and management of the lab.

**Communication**: manuscript preparation, seminar/conference presentations, grant writing.

**EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS**:
**Must Have - Required**:

- **Experience**:

- PhD in molecular biology, cell biology, biomedicine or similar.

- Experience in at least one of the following approaches/tools: mouse models, functional genomics (CRISRP/RNAi), single-cell technologies.
- At least 1 first-author publication.
- Strong interest in exploring questions on cancer (epi)genetics, tumor heterogeneity, tumor-host crosstalk, and microenvironmental mechanisms of tumor evolution.
- **Knowledge**:

- Extensive laboratory experience, including in molecular biology, cell culture, functional genomics (CRISPR/Cas9 and/or RNAi), mouse models.
- Experience with mouse models of cancer (pancreatic, liver), flow cytometry, epigenetics and/or computational skills (Python or R programming languages) are a plus.
- **Skills**:

- Language: good communication skills, fluent in English (oral and written)
- Soft skills: pro-active attitude, ability to work independently and in a team environment, analytical and critical thinking, problem solving, good organizational skills.

- Training in competitive research environments.
- **Knowledge**:

- Primary cell culture and 3D organoid systems.
- Omics methods (transcriptomics/epigenomics, imaging/spatial proteomics, mass cytometry/CyTOF) - wet-lab or computational.
- **Skills**:

- Solid understanding of biostatistics and expertise/interest in single-cell data analyses (scRNA-seq/scATAC-seq/multiomics).

**WORKING CONDITIONS & ENTITLEMENTS**:

- **Working conditions**: Employed in compliance with Spanish legislation and regulations under a full-time contract. Employees receive the benefits of the Spanish Social Security system covering sickness, maternity/paternity leaves and injuries at work.
