Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Malaria Epigenetics

hace 3 días


Barcelona, Barcelona, España Isglobal A tiempo completo

**About ISGlobal**

We are a leading research center addressing global public health challenges through innovative science and effective policy translation. Our diverse research portfolio encompasses communicable and non-communicable diseases, with a focus on environmental and climate determinants.

**Our Team**

The Malaria Epigenetics lab, led by ICREA Research Professor Alfred Cortés, is dedicated to understanding the regulation of gene expression in malaria parasites. We employ cutting-edge approaches, including CRISPR-Cas9 technology and multi-omic analysis, to generate high-quality knowledge essential for malaria control.

**Job Opportunity**

We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team and contribute to a research project investigating novel aspects of transcriptional regulation in Plasmodium falciparum. This will involve studying gene expression during sexual conversion, a critical process for disease transmission.

**Responsibilities**

You will work under the supervision of Dr. Cortés and collaborate closely with other team members to design and conduct experiments, analyze data, and interpret results. Your primary goal will be to generate original scientific findings that advance our understanding of malaria parasite biology.

**Requirements**

To succeed in this role, you will need a Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics) and experience in gene editing technologies, phenotypic characterization, and/or multi-omic analysis. Excellent communication and teamwork skills are also essential.

**Benefits**

We offer a stimulating work environment, state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities for professional growth and development. You will be encouraged to participate in our mentoring program and engage with the ISGlobal Postdoctoral community. Our team values diversity, work-life balance, and social activities.

**About the Project**

Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe forms of human malaria. Transcriptional regulation plays a pivotal role in malaria parasite biology, controlling life cycle progression, antigenic variation, and adaptation to the environment. This project aims to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying these processes.

**Compensation**

This full-time position comes with an estimated annual salary of €45,000 - €55,000, commensurate with experience. The salary range may vary based on qualifications and location.
