The Computational Biology group, led by ICREA professor Alfonso Valencia, is looking for a PhD student to work on developing and applying data analysis approaches to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate the development of kidney organoids. The context of this job position is an ongoing collaboration with Professor Nuria Montserrat’s lab at IBEC.
The Researcher’s tasks will involve the use and development of data analysis techniques and biological simulations to analyse and understand the underlying mechanics of the processes leading to the development of a kidney organoid.
BSc in biology, biotechnology or a degree in science or engineering with sufficient knowledge and interest in biology; MSc in bioinformatics, computational biology or similar.
Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience:
Developmental biology: signalling pathways, heterogeneity, self-organisation, patterning; Computational biology: data analysis, data integration, modelling.
Additional Knowledge and Professional Experience
Knowledge and experience in life sciences research; knowledge and some experience in AI methodologies; Programming: Python (scikit-learn, numpy, matplotlib), R, C, C++, Git; Fluency in spoken and written English.
Competences: Good communication and presentation skills
