.The InstituteThe 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 supported by a flexible and efficient administration and high-end, 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 recognition highlights the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for Researchers, designed to align practices and procedures with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.Please check out our Recruitment Policy: CRG Recruitment PolicyThe roleWe are seeking a motivated postdoctoral scientist interested in dissecting genome regulatory mechanisms underlying human diabetes.
The successful applicant will develop cell-based model systems such as human stem cell-derived beta cells, using single-cell genomic read-outs, and will explore poorly understood genome regulatory mechanisms.
The work will be performed within a multidisciplinary lab located in the CRG.About the labThe 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 provides unique opportunities to engage in collaborative projects that combine experimental and computational methods.
The lab encourages wet lab scientists to engage in their own data analysis and provides a supportive environment to this end.
The group is funded by various organizations, including the European Research Council and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation
