About the Team/Job

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is a leading international research organization in the life sciences. Our Barcelona site is a state-of-the-art research facility located in the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park, a hub for translational research in Southern Europe.

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow position will be part of the project 'A novel Maternal-Fetal-Interface on-Chip for Human Investigation of Placental exposures and infections (MFI-CHIP)', funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MCIU) and the European Social Fund (ESF+).

Job Summary

We are seeking an extremely motivated and talented researcher to join our team as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The successful candidate will work on developing a novel 3D vascularized maternal-fetal interface to represent late-stage placental barrier, and investigate the impact of sex differences, hormones, and exposures on transport across this critical barrier.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and optimize 3D culture of an in vitro maternal-fetal interface on-chip
  • Employ the model and associated assays and analysis techniques
  • Collaborate with local clinical researchers to isolate primary-derived trophoblast cells from explanted placenta for incorporation and optimization on-chip
  • Explore a range of questions related to sex differences, exposures, and infection using the optimized model
  • Contribute to the development of a collaborative project with the Bernabeu group at EMBL Barcelona to explore malaria infection in the placenta model
Requirements
  • PhD in biology, bioengineering or related fields, preferably with experience in 3D cell culture
  • Extensive experience working with primary-derived human cells
  • Strong practical skills in cell culture and molecular biology techniques
  • 3D tissue culture experience
  • Advanced microscopy and quantitative imaging skills
  • Experience with bulk RNAseq analysis
  • Independent and motivated work habits
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
  • Excellent organization and time management skills
  • Strong interest in the maternal-fetal interface and its dysfunction in humans
Desirable Skills
  • Knowledge of vascular and/or placental biology
  • Experience with cell isolation techniques from explant tissue (placenta)
  • Hands-on experience with microfluidics and microfabrication techniques (3D printing, working with PDMS devices)
  • Experience in advanced image analysis or computational skills (ImageJ, Python)
Why Join Us

EMBL offers a highly collaborative and uniquely international working environment, fostering top quality, interdisciplinary research. We are an inclusive, equal opportunity employer, committed to internationality, diversity and equality.
