Junior Group Leader Position in Quantitative Biology
Universitat Pompeu Fabra
Barcelona, Spain


The Department of Medicine and Life Sciences (MELIS) of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) aims to fill a Junior Group Leader position in the field of Quantitative Biology. We are looking for candidates in the early stage of their career with an excellent track record in biomedical research that effectively combines experimental work and computational/machine learning approaches to study living systems quantitatively, in areas including, but not limited to, metabolomics, evolutionary medicine, regenerative medicine, aging, neuroscience, systems genetics, bioengineering, and cell and developmental biology.


Successful candidates will be highly accomplished young scientists with a PhD in Biology, Bioinformatics, Physics, Computational Biology or a similar field, and a strong capacity to lead high-impact research projects that integrate both experimental and computational approaches. The future group leader should be able to supervise directly both the experimental and computational work, and be driven by a desire to contribute to questions of biological and/or clinical relevance, independently and in collaboration with other researchers from the Department. The selected candidate is also expected to attract national and international research funds, supervise doctoral theses, and teach courses that include quantitative approaches to biology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.


The Offer

  1. Tenure-track position to be consolidated to a permanent faculty position after 5 years upon external peer review.
  2. Startup package that includes a PhD student and funding to cover initial equipment costs, and access to our core facilities.
  3. Office space for up to 4 people, which will necessarily be split 50/50 between experimental (wet-lab) and computational (dry-lab) work.
  4. Start date: June 2025.

Application Procedure

Applications should include:

  1. Motivation letter, describing explicitly how your research goals fit with those of MELIS.
  2. Curriculum vitae, including the information listed in the guidelines below.

  4. Brief proposal of your future research plans at MELIS (max. 2 pages). Please include an estimate of the equipment and facilities needed for your research.
