We are looking for a motivated individual with teamwork skills to join Dr. Núria López-Bigas' team focused on the study of cancer from a genomics perspective. The lab is particularly interested in the study of mutational processes in cancer, the identification of cancer driver mutations, and applying these findings to precision cancer medicine. In this line, we are developing bioinformatics tools with translational applications in precision oncology.
The BBGLab is a strong interdisciplinary and international research team with unique expertise in the analysis of tumor genomics data. More information at bbglab.irbbarcelona.org .
The candidate will perform scientific project management tasks within the EU collaborative project CGI-Clinics , coordinated by IRB Barcelona. This 5-year project (Nov 2022-Oct 2027) aims to improve precision cancer medicine by building a bioinformatic tool to enhance genomic data interpretation and implement it in the clinics.
This is a new position, aiming to complement the multidisciplinary CGI-Clinics team in the BBGLab composed of cancer genomics scientists, software developers, bioinformaticians, project managers, and research assistants. It is a unique opportunity to contribute as a project manager in translating the research tool Cancer Genome Interpreter (CGI) into a tool for clinical use, and to embark on this international EU effort.
