Barcelona, España Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) 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 of an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.

In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of the ‘HR Excellence in Research’ Award from the European Commission. This is a recognition of the Institute’s commitment to developing an HR Strategy for Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.

The role

We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral scientist to lead a project in one of these two areas:

  1. Analysis and discovery of rare noncoding mutations causing diabetes, using advanced statistical genetics, computational regulatory genomics, and analysis of whole genome sequences in unique patient cohorts.
  2. Using computational strategies to develop a high resolution epigenomic technology with translational potential.

About the lab

The Regulatory Genomics and Diabetes lab aims to uncover genetic mechanisms causing diabetes mellitus, and to develop therapeutic avenues. The group is particularly interested in understanding how genomic information is used to direct cell-specific gene expression, and to pinpoint gene regulatory defects underlying human disease.

The team brings together diverse expertise, ranging from work with mutant stem cell-derived beta cell organoids, engineered mouse models, single cell epigenomics, large-scale genetic screens, statistical genetics, and the integration of genetic and regulatory data. This multidisciplinary approach gives us unique opportunities to engage in collaborative projects that combine experimental and computational methods.

Whom would we like to hire?

Professional experience

Must Have
