The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than 400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG shares principles of an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team that is supported by high-end and innovative technologies and a flexible and efficient administration.
CRG has been conferred a badge of ‘HR Excellence in Research’ by the European Commission, in recognition of its progress in implementing the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for Recruitment of Researchers, that among others consists of transparent, merit-based recruitment procedures and attractive work-life balance working conditions.
We seek to hire a postdoctoral researcher to work in the research group "Evolutionary Processes Modeling" of Dr. Donate Weghorn at the CRG in Barcelona. The research focus in the group will be on developing new mathematical models and computational tools to describe cancer evolution. We mainly use published sequencing datasets to infer selection on coding and non-coding somatic variants. These questions are connected to the study of mutational processes and their signatures in cancer DNA sequencing data.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a background in genetics, physics, mathematics, bioinformatics, computer science or a related field. Fluency in one or more programming languages and experience with computational analysis of sequencing and other biological datasets are preferable. Project ideas without a direct connection to cancer are welcome to be discussed. The successful candidate will be driving individual projects and will work in a highly collaborative environment. Fluent in English.
